NEW YORK (AP) —
Two "super b" students
have been expelled from a
Brooklyn high school only
a few days before their
graduation for allegedly
helping to steal questions
and answers to statewide
achievement tests.
Disclosure of the theft
and the discovery that
metropolitan area students
were buying the exam que-
ries and answers prompt-
ed the state Education I)e-
partment to cancel nine of
the 21 Board of Regents
tests that were to be given
to 700,000 high school stu-
dents this week.
Regents exams in Span-
ish and French were ad-
ministered as scheduled
Tuesday, despite reports
that questions and answers
for those tests also were
being sold. v
The department said it
had no evidence that the
cribbing scandal would
comt \mise the last 10
’ft
ticular subject area. The
Regents exant is usually
taken at the end of a se-
mester. A passing mark on
the Regents gives a stu-
dent a certain number of
credits towards the state's
highest academic degree
and a high mark is favora-
bly regarded by colleges.
However, seniors who
fail a Regents during their
final semester can place
their high school gradua-
tion and college accept-
ances in jeopardy. If they
fail a Regents in one
course and do not have
enough points from Re-
gents exams in other
courses, they are obliged
to enroll in a summer
course and re-take the
failed Regents test merely
to graduate.
On Friday the biggest
scandal in the 96-year his-
tory of the Regents exam
system broke when Brook-

The Israeli state radio
said the raids were part of
a day-to-day campaign to
check such guerrilla as-
saults as the raid on the
Shamir kibbutz six days
ago, while Nixon was in
Egypt. Three women died
in that attack, along with
the four-man Arab suicide
squad.
Usually the Israelis re-

such guerrilla attacks with
strikes the same day or
the day after at Palestini-

the Shamir attack because

ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — Two tornadoes that
struck within five minutes of each other oblit-
erated portions of this north Des Moines sub-
urb and threw the town of 10,000 into a state of
emergency. Two persons died and at least 10
were injured, state police said.
A newsman on the scene said a 10- to 15-
block area "looked like a battleground" after
the twisters struck Tuesday night during se-
vere storms throughout central Iowa. Damag-
ing winds, hard rains and hail assaulted a doz-
en communities in a five-county area and
widespread flooding was reported.
In Ankeny there were scores of demolished
buildings, power lines downed, windows blown
out, cars and trucks overturned and trees up-
rooted.

To Lisbon
LAJES, Azores (AP) —
Pausing en route back to
America from his Middle
East mission, President
Nixon met today with Por-
tuguese President Antonio
Spinola to discuss possible
U.S. economic aid for Spi-
nola's new government.
The two presidents also
were talking about a new
agreement extending the
U.S. air base here. The
present accord expires in
August.
Nixon, who arrived here
Tuesday for an overnight
stay, drove from his quar-
ters to the Portuguese Of-
ficers Club for the session
with Spinola.
Nixon planned to depart
for Washington about two
hours after the meeting
concluded.
White House officials re-
arranged the membership
of the press pool aboard
Nixon's plane, replacing
news service photogra-
phers with television cor-
respondents.
A White House spokes-
man said this was done so
the correspondents could
get back to Washington in
time for evening network
newscasts.
Today's hour-long ses-
sion was billed by White
House aides as a "courtesy
meeting," but Spinola's
aides said the talks would
involve Portugal's new in-
ternational role since a
military overthrow of the
old rightist government
April 25.
A crowd of several
hundred was on hand to
greet Nixon here and Pres-
ident Spinola unexpectedly
flew in from Lisbon four
hours early for Nixon's ar-
rival.
Spinola told Nixon he
was the first foreign head
of state that Spinola had
met since taking over the
Portuguese government.
Nixon flew here from
Amman, Jordan, Tuesday
evening after an eight-day
journey that took him
14,700 miles to five Middle
East nations in a bid to
play a continuing peace-
maker role between Arabs
and Israelis. He was due
back in Washington this
afternoon, where a home-
coming celebration was
planned on the White
House lawn.

dent now plans "to take a

the Tour of the Scioto River Valley," Casey said,
explaining this is an annual event in which cycl-
ists ride from the Ohio state capitol, to Ports-
mouth, and back.
"I was number 2,750," Casey said. "They had
2,833 riders this year, and I'm sure nine-tenths of
them completed it. So I got an extra 210 miles
out of that."
A gregarious persons, Casey prefers riding with
a companion, and is hoping to find an Oklahoma
cyclist to ride as far as Colorado with him.
"I've had friends riding with me more often
than not," Casey said.
He rode by himself the first three days of the
trip, and since then has had two or three-day In-
tervals when he has been alone.
Lean and lanky, Casey maintains his cycling
weight of 155 even though he has been eating
three or four square meals a day.
"I carry an apple and orange and pear and a
peach and one of those little pies," Casey said.
"A cyclist can burn 600 to 700 calories an hour."
Sometimes, he stops for a milkshake when he
feels the need of an extra bit of energy. "I've lost

‘Fantastic
9
By Gail Driskill
That old Irish blessing which begins, "May the
roads rise to meet you, may the wind be always
at your back," seems tailor-made for Jay Casey.
Casey, a former Oklahoman, set out May 6
from Washington, D.C., on a cross-country bicy-
cle trip he had been anticipating for several
years. He expects to reach his final destination,
Los Angeles, in about three weeks.
He could have made the trip In less time, Cas-
ey admits, but has stopped along the way to en-
joy the scenery and to visit friends in several
states.
Several days ago, the 32-year-old computer ex-
pert pedaled up to the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Orben J. Casey, 2236 NW 25, where he
is spending a few days before continuing his
journey.
"I've had a fantastic trip," bubbled Casey,
who talks as enthusiastically as he pedals his ex-
pensive, handmade English bicycle.
An odometer attached to his bike's front wheel
registers 2166.7 miles. This is 210 miles more
than he expected to have rolled up by now, Cas-
ey said.
