* The Daily Chowanian * Volume 1 — Number 32 Murfreesboro, North Carolina, January 15, 1980 Associated Press Other World Powers Called On To Trim Military Manpower By STANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW AP—Soviet spokes men called on other world powers today to follow the ex ample of Premier Nikita Khru shchev’s move to trim military manpower. Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko singled out the Western Big Three. Gromyko and others address ed the 1,300 deputies of the So viet Parliament as it moved me thodically toward unanimous a- doption of Khrushchev’s propo sal to lop 1,200,000 men from the Soviet armed forces in the next year or two and rely on rocket- age weapons to take up the slack. Gromyko said he hoped the action of Parliament in voting the reduction will influence law makers of the United States, Britain and France to do like wise. He suggested “some prac tical action” in reply. Justas Paleckis, head of the Lithuanian Parliament’s Presi dium, declared the Soviet move should induce Parliament mem bers of all nations to press for similar decisions by their gov ernments. Attorney Killed in Crash With Half Millon Dollar Policy Fear Planes Caracas Violence CARACAS Venezuela AP — President Romulo Betancourt today ordered hard labor in a remote jungle penal colony for nearly 200 rioters blamed for widespread violence in Car acas. Betancourt hurried to the capital from a tour of the in terior after roving gangs ot young men and others Monday set fire to several business houses and vehicles, looted food shops and attacked police sta tions and telephone company installations. Twenty-one persons were re ported wounded in clashes with the police before officials an nounced the situation was un der control. Minor disturbances continued in the suburbs Monday night. The rioting was touched off when police broke up a demon stration by about 1,200 unem ployed workers demanding jobs. Presidential secretary Ra mon Valazquez said others moved in to carry out a well or- ga>nized plan to create internal problems.” Ike Orders Overtime Work In Development Of Space Rocket WASHINGTON AP — Presi dent Eisenhower has ordered overtime work if necessary to speed development of a super space rocket. He also wants tc know if more money is needed for the job. The President sent those in structions Thursday to the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration. He told T. Keith Glennan, NASA chief, “It is essential to press forward vigorously to in crease our capability in high thrust space vehicles.” Eisenhower said NASA should make a quick study of whether more money should be spent to speed up the super rocket boos ter program. He also authorized overtime work on the Saturn super boos ter project. Space scientists hope this project will lead to a rocket engine far more power ful than anything the Soviets are believed to have used so far. The Presiident’s irwtfructions to NASA came a few hours after he had sent two messages to Icelandic Trawler Missing In Atlantic HALIFAX N. s. AP — A big Icelandic trawler with 28 men a board has been missing for nearly 48 hours in an Atlantic gale about 70 miles off the Newfoundland north coast. Search and rescue headquarters of the Royal Canadian Air Force said today it received a request from the Icelandic Coast Guard to set up a search for the 656-ton trawler Uranus, unreported since Sunday afternoon.

And he formally informed Congress of his r>lans to shift to NASA the Arr’w’q roc^^t r^«!earch team headed by Dr. Wernher von Braun. WESTPORT, Conn. AP — The man who sold Julian Andrew Frank a half-million dollar in surance policy said today the attorney always expressed fear of airplane travel. Edward F. Boyd Jr., insu rance agent, said it was more a case of Frank’s being talked into carrying heavy insurance than the other way around. And Frank, he said, once told him; “Look, I'm going to get killed in an airplane.” He said Frank feared travel by plane, but that he had to fly often on business. Wheather Frank ex!pressed this fear, Boyd said he would assure the 32-year-old attorney that “if you’re worried about it. I'll insure you.” He said Frank had inquired about an insurance policy in the neighborhood of $100,000. But after several talks, Boyd said he showed Frank “how to own substantially more” insurance. It resulted in the $500,000 policy —which, however, contains a two-year suicide clause. The clause bars payment to the beneficiary—the widow—if the death is proven a suicide that occurred within two years of insurance of the policy. This policy, he said, was issued to Frank last Nov. 1. As for Frank’s fear of air tra vel, Boyd said t’le at'.» rney’f wife-a pretty model, Janet Wag ner—“Pooh-poohed all this busi ness about being killed in a plane.” Frank’s wife, meanwhile, de clined all calls from newsmen at her home here. She continued to refer queries to her attorney in New York .City. How Much Property Do You Own WASHINGTON AP—You own $1,472.39 worth of property you may not ever have thought a- bcut. So does your next door neigh- bout. So does Nelson A. Rockefel ler, for that matter. All this figures, since the people are the government of the United States and the value of all real and personal property owned by the federal govern ment was placed today at 264 billion dollars or more. You figure your share by di viding 179,300,000—the number of people in the United States as of Jan. 1-into the 264 billion. The property total was shown in an annual inventory report issued by the House Govern ment Operations Committee. Chairman Wi’liam L. Dawson D—111 concedes the listing is far from complete. Millions of acres of land ac quired as much as 100 years ago is valued at the price paid for it then, for instance, instead of reflecting present values. And untold treasures in the Library of Congress and the Smithson ian Institute are not listed be cause they were given to the government. But the 398-page report is stiU an impressive listing of the na tion’s wealth, its typewriters prisons, its libraries and light houses, and its 6 Vi billion dol lars in cash. The personal property of the United States—its cash, invest ments, military equipment, book and statues—makes up the ma jor share of the total, being valued at 193 billion dollars. The real property—military* bases, the land and buildings in hundreds of federal installations throughout the country, and the millions of acres in the public domain—is valued at 71 billion plus.

Durrence also told lawyers for Mrs. Reynolds, the former Muriel Marston of Toronto, Canada, that they could have two doctors examine the 53- year-old millionaire. Reynolds’ own physicians said he is suffering with a lung and heart disease aggravated, by excessive smoking. His di vorce suit, charging cruelty, is due for Feb. 22 trial in Darien. Opposing lawyers pictured' Reynolds as seriously ill or as feigning illness at his Sapelo home to avoid appearing in court. The judge told Mrs. Reynolds’ lawyers, “I’m not going to let you go to Sapelo if it is going to cause the man to fall dead.” Durrence added, however, that they could examine Reynolds' tax, brokerag? and gift records, and deeds, limited mostly to those from 1953 and 1959.

Lives Saved By Liquid Soaked Dynamite Fuse RALEIGH AP — Liquid which soaked the fuse of a lethal homemade dynamite bomb has been credited with saving the lives of a Henderson cotton miU wcrker and his family. A host of State Bureau of In vestigation agents, including Director Walter Anderson, were at Henderson today to begin an intensive hunt for the person who threw the explosive. Both Anderson and Attq. Gen. Malcolm Seawell said Monday the bomb, which contained se ven sticks of dynamite, was powerful enough not only to de stroy the home of Claude C. Capell’s, but also to kill. Police theorized it was thrown from a passing car at Capell’s house Saturday night. Capell, his wife and two children were asleep at the time. When found Sunday morning, the fuse was burned down to within an inch of the charge. “We have to take the position it not only was an attempt to damage property, but an at tempt to kill,” Anderson said at a news conference. Seawell said he felt the bomb was tied together several days before it wac thrown. Liquid from the dynamite had soaked through the fuse to about an inch above the cap. The fuse burned to this soaked portion and then was snuffed out. Capell is an assistant foreman at a Henderson Cotton Mill vhich is baing struck by the Textile Workers Union of Ame rica. Although violence, which marked the strike last winter and spring has subsided, a dy namite blast occurred Dec. 7 inflicting damage to a mill bluilding.
