Irish Abductors
Sought by Police
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP)
— Police and troops
searched the lonely Wick-
ow Hills on Wednesday for
the Earl and Countess of
• Donoughmore, kidnapped
from their stately home in
Tipperary by three
masked gunmen.
The chief of Dublin's
murder squad took charge
of the investigation, as
fears grew that the elderly
earl and countess would be
held hostage for the lives
of Irish hunger strikers in
, British prisons and killed
1 if more strikers die.

that Irving essentially
made up.
"I regret it, of course I
regret it," says Irving,
stretching his six-foot-four
frame, clad in blue turtle-
neck and jeans, across an
easy chair in the high-ceil-

occupies at the Chelsea
Hotel. "But I thought I
could get away with it."
A flash of deviltry, and
maybe pride, crosses his
face when he talks about
the "chutzpah, the sense of
about $450,000 to Mc-
Graw-Hill and various le-
gal fees.
"If I owed $25,000 or

■ NEW YORK - Clifford
, Irv ing, the bad boy of
’ modern biography, is back
. At his old trade.
: .But this time, things will
'be on the level, says the
.writer who nearly pulled
: off the biggest literary
. hoax in publishing history
• — a phony autobiography
;of billionaire-recluse How-
; ard Hughes.
After nearly 18 months
■n jail, Irving is out on pa-
role and launching a new
business — the writing of
authentic biographies of
gathering outside super- '
markets to decry "Team-
ster raids" and to urge
shoppers to pass over
packages of grapes and
lettuce bearing the twin
horse imprimatur of the
Teamsters, and to pur-
chase only those with the
UFW's black Aztec eagle.
But this boycott is differ-
ent and, in many ways,
more intense than its pred-
ecessors.
At the supermarket, the
UFW has agreed to limit j
its boycott specifically to
the products on the shelf
—Teamster-picked grapes 1
nancially beleaguered
UFW is that the boycott
for the first time has the
wholehearted backing of
the AFL-CIO, whose exec-
utive council has endorsed
the campaign.
Since then, Frank E.
Fitzsimmons, president of
the 2.2 million member In-
ternational Brotherhood of j
Teamsters, and George I
Meany, president of the 15 !
million member AFL-CIO, 11
have been waging an un- I
precedented unrelenting I
war of harshly worded I
memorandums. I
The battle, which has I
been escalating space with I
the boycott, has been car- I
ried to the 900 state and lo- I

The endorsement itself I
evoked an ominous warn- I
ing from Fitzsimmons, I
who wrote a letter to the I
presidents of all interna- I
tional unions associated I
with the AFL-CIO, stating I
in part: "If you decide to I
support the boycott in any I

tion against the Teamsters I

Boycott
On Ag ain
By William K. Marimow
Knight Newspapers
The United Farm Work-
ers (UFW), which last
Bt-'T spring lost its contracts
and most of its members
to the Teamsters Union, is
again escalating its boy-
cott to discourage consum-
ers from purchasing
grapes and lettuce not (
picked by its workers.
For the consumer, no '
doubt befuddled by the •
varying intensity of the '
boycotts over the years, |
this latest effort may seem '
to be a repeat — pickets I

an intense longing for dear
old America.
In the light of after- ____________
knowledge, that feeling of ings. It was 2 p.m. before
alarm seems silly, howev- engineer troops finally
cleared an exit track from ________ ____
the beaches and 4 p.m. be- two squadrons of amphibi-
—- — --‘.A ous tanks which plastered

and other centers of resist-
ance as they came ashore.
