White House visit offered
to both sides of coal strike
By United Press International
t
WASHINGTON - President Carter
Tuesday asked both sides in the 71-day coal
strike to meet at the White House for "final
opportunity" negotiations and warned he
might order miners back to work if no
settlement results.
news briefs
United Mine Workers President Arnold
Miller quickly accepted the president's
invitation, but there was no immediate
response from the Bituminous Coai
Operators Association.
If no agreement is reached soon,
customers of North Carolina's two major
utilities companies may be asked to conserve
electricity to save coal.
Duke Power Co. reported its coal supply
was down to 55 days. Carolina Power &
Light said its supply was down to 58 days.
Both companies said conservation efforts
would be requested if supplies go below the
50-day level.
Carter, in a personal appearance in the
White House press room, did not invoke the
Taft-Hartley Act, which empowers him to
order the 160,000 striking miners back to
work for an 80-day cooling-off period.
But he made clear he might use the act if
negotiations at the White House fail.
"That's one of the options available," he
said.
Under Carter's orders, Labor Secretary
Tjand of the Rio Grande' movie
to be shown at 8 p.m. in Hamilton
Land of the Rio Grande, the third of four films
in the Audubon Wildlife Film Series at UNC. will
be shown at 8 p.m. today in 100 Hamilton Hall.
Charles and Julie Hotchkiss filmed this
exploration of the Rio Grande, one of the longest
and most scenic rivers in the nation. The husband
and wife team chose the Rio Grande as their
subject because the river supports a wide variety of
habitats and wildlife.
Few other rivers in the world have been used
and manipulated for irrigation purposes as the
Rio Grande. The Hotchkisses explored the rier,
its changing moods and the plants, birds and
mammals that are dependent on it.
The couple traveled the lowlands w here colorful
Mexican birds live close to the Gulf of Mexico.
Farther up the river are ancient Indian ruins where
tassel-eared squirrels and other animals live.
The filmmakers crossed the High Plains, home
of pronghorn antelope and cliff swallows. On
horseback they reached the river's source at 12.5K4
foot high Stony Pass, Col.

Abzug back in House
NEW YORK - Democrat Bella Abzug, a
colorful but controversial politician whose
trademark is a floppy hat. was sent back to
Congress Tuesday to replace New York
mayor Edward Koch in the House of
Representatives.
The flamboyant former congresswoman,
who became nationally known for her stands
on liberal issues, crushed her Republican,
opponent S. William Green, a former state
assemblyman and regional federal official.
Abug. who left the House in 1976 in an
unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate, had 57
percent of the vote to Green's 41 percent with
27 percent of the vole counted.
She will take over the Silk Stocking
district seat vacated by Koch in January
when he became mayor.
More Arab terrorism?
JERUSALEM An explosion,
apparently set off by Arab guerrillas,
Tuesday killed tw o people and wounded 35
others, five of them seriously, in a bus that
w as passing through the heart of Jerusalem,
police said.
The explosion, the worst in more than two
years, occurred aboard a commuter bus in
the predominantly religious Geula quarter. a
few blocks north of the old. walled city.
"Undoubtedly this was the work of Arab
terrorists." a police officer said.
Hotchkiss, who narrates the film, has been
seasonal ranger and naturalist at Grand Teton,
Mt. Mckinley and Everglades National Parks,
During these seven years he has spent much of his
time documenting the lives and habits of various
birds and animals for the National Park Service.
Now living in Williamsburg, Va., the
Hotchkisses continue to record their outdoor
adventures on film.
The film series is sponsored by the New Hope
Audubon Society in conjunction with the UNC
department of oology.
Admission is by season ticket with one-event
tickets available at the door. Adult tickets are $2;
high school students' are $1.

Bus safety program
stresses 'no passing'
School Bus Safety Week is Feb. 13 through
. 1 7. and the Transportation Department lor the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools wants to
remind students and staff of UN'C that it is
illegal to pass a stopped school bus in North
Carolina.
Ann Radclille. assistant director ol
transportation lor the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools, said some states have no law
against passing stopped school buses.
"A lot of out-of-state students may not be
aware of the fact that passing a stopped school
bus is illegal in North Carolina." Radclille
said. "Cars are supposed to stop both ways,
even on a four-lane highway. We just thought
that if we told people about the law in North
Carolina, they would think about it more."
Several activities have been planned in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro school systems to
promote school-bus safety this week. Bulletin
boards have been erected, films are being
shown, booklets on school-bus safety are being
distributed and talks are being given to
students by teachers in conjunction with the
school transportation department.

up in Chapel Hill, is now living in San Francisco
and has had a short story in every O. Henry Award

The Grab Listening To Billie
B, Maria Katzenbach By Alice Adams
Alice Adams, daughter of the late Nick and
Agatha Adams of Chapel Hill, has written two
previous novels. Careless Love and Families and
Survivors, in addition to her numerous prize
winning short stories. Her new book. Listening to
Billie. begins with Eliza Hamilton, probably
pregnant, sitting with her lover. Evan Quarles.
"pale blond and sad. Deep Southern young man"
by her side in a night club waiting for Billie
Holliday to sing.
Eliza was pregnant. She did marry- Evan
Quarles and have a daughter. Catherine. Evan
became obsessed with a "pretty boy" in one of the
classes he taught, left Eliza and died of an
overdose of sleeping pills.
This is the beginning of Listening to Billie but it
is not the real story of Listening to Billie. which
weaves back and forth in time, moves from Maine
to San Francisco. New York, Paris, Rome,
Mexico (but never to Alice Adams' native South).
This is the story of the maturing of Eliza Hamilton
Quarles, independent woman, successful poet,
mistress to various men and member of a family
including her possessive, writer-mother

Josephine, her enigmatic half-sister Darisand her
simple, sensuous, child-bearing daughter
Catherine. This is not a straightforward
beginning-middle-end novel, but a shifting pattern
of light and dark, ol emotional growth and of
intense family relationships. The reader comes to
know these women so well that he is obsessed to
find out what happens to them. The male
characters are less strongly developed, as though
their fates really matter very little. T hree of them,
in fact, commit suicide.
Ol all the men Elia knew., she considered
marrying two: Harry, the movie director, who
gave her life new direction and once told her "I've
never been married to a woman I liked"; and the
beautiful Reed Ashlord. who told her. alter they
made love, that he was the "beautiful boy" her
husband Evan Quarles had once been mad about.
But more vital than any of the men are the
women in Kliza's life: school friends, fellow
workers, her irritating daughter who finally
moved off to a commune, her sister Daria who
never understood the value of her husband's
millions and once planned to kill the president
under whom her husband worked. The female
relationships are unerringly drawn, and, together,
they give additional insight into'the life of today's
independent woman.
Listening to Billie can never be adequately
described by discussing its plot. It can be admired,
enjoyed and remembered for the style of writing,
the insight into a woman's life, the wit and trueness
of the dialogue '
"Sadie. Barbara and Louise enter their mother's
house, for they are the last of the Luskin line to ,
grab at their mother's marriage to furnish their
own," writes Maria Katenbach in her impressive
first novel. The Grab. At the death of a parent it is
the custom of the Luskin heirs to assemble in the
house of the dead, sort through the possessions of
the dead, and each child "grabs," in turn, the

Miss Katzenbach used the inventory of her own
grandmother's house as the objects which her
fictional Luskin sisters are to grab and we find
the basic characters of the three sisters revealed as
they discuss, argue and "grab" such items as their
father's portrait as a little boy, their father's love
letters to their mother, a first edition of Don
Quixote, colonial silver spoons, and various
valuable items of furniture. Barbara, the eldest,
appears to be the calm and steady sister; Louisa,
the middle one. an intellectual rebel who is
contemplating a divorce from her husband; and
Sadie, the youngest, a flighty, "fluffy" and
immature girl who has never been able to break
the strings attached to her mother.
"As the women grab," writes the author, "they
think of their own marriages in turn, of their
husbands who seem to be standing in the wings."
The 'Luskin women tended to absorb their
husbands, just as their mother absorbed their
father, an invalid confined to his bed for his last 20
years. And as the three sisters examine the
portraits of their father and their mother, they
relive their own lives as children, recalling their
father's love, their mother's benign neglect.
Barbara remembers that her mother was
prejudiced and scorned Barbara's first corsage.
The other sisters recall that their mother lived by
"The Family Code," a code that insisted that '
things be done "decently and in order."
Throughout the novel, the ghost of the mother,
Barbara Knowles Luskin, lingers on in the house,
influencing her daughters in their choice of grab
and even in their attitudes toward their own
husbands back home.
"Each of the daughters wonders what it will be
like when she finally gets back to her separate
home. Their homes seem like foreign countries to
them, now; their husbands men they thought they
knew before they opened the trunk of love letters."
Miss Katzenbach has produced a memorable
first novel, even though her poetic flights of
obvious "style" sometimes obscure the validity of
her thoughts and ideas.
