ANKARA (AP) — A time bomb
exploded in front of an Ankara engi-
neering academy today, wounding
22 students, six of them critically, ,
authorities said.
The victims were identified as
leftist students. Right-wing mili-
tants were suspected of planting the
bomb, police said
Profanity OK
but don't fight
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The
Rhode Island Supreme Court says
it’s OK to engage in "profane swear-
ing and cursing." However, there’s a
catch.
The court said salty language is
illegal when it includes "fighting
words" addressed to a particular
individual.
The decision reversed the convic-
tion of Michael E. Autheiet for com-
ments made to police after a War-
wick street corner disturbance on
Sept. 3,1974.
Violation of the Rhode Island law
is punishable by a fine of not more
than $5.
TOKYO (AP) — Police arrested a
13-year-old boy who told them he set
fire to two school gymnasiums in an
attempt to cause the cancellation of
spring examinations.
The boy said he was afraid he
would fail the exams.
Information about Seay came
from Rufus L. Edmisten. who was
chief of staff for the U.S. Senate's
Watergate investigation and now is
attorney general for North Carolina;
from former Seay business associ-
ates and investors In Winston-Salem
and Charlotte, N.C.. Forth Worth,
Texas, and Huntsville, Ala., and
from prosecutors and state Investi-
gators In Winston-Salem.
Seay was arraigned Monday in
Merle Weygandt, a Winston-Salem
investor and former Seay associate,
said Seay operated in North Caroli-
na through companies named Sani-
lator Corp, of Georgia, Sanilator
Industries, and Bio-funds of Georg-
ia, and two other corporations, in
addition to those mentioned in the
embezzlement counts.

HONG KONG (UPI)
— Overcrowded urban

school-aged children will not be as
great as might be expected.
Some school officials objected to
the agreement when it was proposed
last year. They object to distribu-
tion of money, totaling less than the
full tax assessment, to all areas af-
fected rather than being paid exclu-
sively to the school district in which
a plant is located.
Sen Jim Howell. D-Midwest City,
tn whose district the plant is locat-
ed. estimated laat year the ad
valorem revenues If aaaeased would
amount to $6 5 million a year
Trust authority officlala insist
there is no way to estimate how
much the tax rate would be. Stras-
baugh said the tax is based on
market value." — not on the cost
of construction, but on how much
the plant would be worth to a poten-
tial buyer.
"When GM’s land tax. the public-
purpose payment and sales taxes
are added together." the statement
said, "it is clear that General Mo-
tors will be among the largest con-
tributors to public support in cen-
tral Oklahoma.
When the work force expands to
5,000 employees, supporters of the
payments plan point out, “employ-
ees will contribute through purchas-
es. state and local taxes, community
fund, church giving and so forth
over $50 million per year."
General Motors will buy $22 mil-
lion in goods and purchases annual-
ly. they said. The annual payroll will
be $120 million.
A North Carolina state investiga-
tor alleged that Intercapital Associ-
ates of North Carotins was the par-
ent corporation for several others
that Seay set up in that state. "Ev-
erything else was either a subsidi-
ary or a limited partnership or a
general partnership, but always a
chain of corporations linked to
Intercapital," the agent said.

have developed today among attor-
neys involved In the legal defense of
Hart.
Larry Oliver, Tulsa attorney who
identified himself earlier this week
as "chief defense counsel", with-
drew unexpectedly from the case
Tuesday.
Oliver declined to reveal why he
was quitting, but there were reports
he was upset at the way three attor-
neys from Oklahoma City were han-
dling the case without his knowl-
edge.
Court officials Indicated Oliver
was peeved at the way Oklahoma
City attorneys Garvin Isaacs. Duke
Wheeler and Gary Pltchlynn were
filing motions on Hart’s behalf with-
out Oliver's knowledge or consent.
Isaacs. Wheeler and Pltchlynn al-
so declined comment
The first sign of a split among de-
fense attorneys appeared to develop
Monday when Oliver said he would
likely be chief defense counsel, but
Isaacs denied anyone had yet been
selected to head the defense team.
Another possible Indication of rift
occurred over the weekend when the
attorneys started visiting Hart.
Isaacs met Hart Friday night at
the Mayes County Jail. During an in-
terview Monday, Oliver, who met
with Hart Saturday morning,
appeared unaware of Isaacs' quick
involvement in the case.
Oliver had been retained by
Hart's mother and informed District
Judge William Whiatler on Friday
that he "should consider himself
employed" in the case.
The Tulsa attorney said Hart and
his family did not want the Ameri-
can Indian Movement involved in
any way in the case.
However, Isaacs was retained by
the Native American Center of Okla-
homa City — a group which has a
number of AIM supporters.

Seay's attorney filed motions at
the arraignment to quash a subpoe-
na for his business records to be
produced. Cole said Seay invoked
the Fifth Amendment on grounds
production of those documents
might tend to imcriminate him. A
decision was postponed until May
25.

The president, clearly frustrated
with the nearly year-long delay of

nothing at all to do with activities in
the next room, where the telephone
rings constantly and conversations
are about money and financial
statements.
Richard Young, a former car
salesman who has lived in Oklaho-
ma City five years, acta as spokes-
men for the four men working there.
Young verified the group is associ-
ated with Seay "up to a point." He
would not elaborate.
Other associates are Cecil Hahn
of Kaw City; Harold Kelly and
James Butler, both of Oklahoma
City. Young said to his knowledge
none of the four had been involved
with Seay in past ventures in other
states.
Young would not disclose details
of the operation, except to say the
men are forming a company to mar-
ket a pet food
Are the men seeking investors?
"Not necessarily In some cases,
yes" Young said, adding the venture
is "exploratory up to now." Pressed
for details, he talked about "agree-
ments" and "assigned territories."
then added: "Money is not what
we re looking for. We're looking for
men and women to become custodi-
ans of large inventories."
Young said the venture will apply
a marketing technique never before
used in selling a food product. He
said the associates don't want It
known yet what the technique is,
what the product is or what it is
made of. At one point, Young
claimed it Is already on grocery
store shelves.
Pasted on a wall and on the desk
Young uses are folders advertising
"Sanilator". Young was evasive
about that name, which is one of
several names allegedly used in a
variety of Seay ventures in North
Carolina, according to former asso-
ciates and North Carolina state offi-
cials.
Texas Department of Public Safe-
ty records show Seay served time in
the state prison at Huntsville for
embezzlement. Six grand jury in-
dictments in May. i960, allege he
and other officers of Southern En-
terprise Corp, sold unregistered
securities. Two other indictments
accused Seay of appropriating
$4,950 in funds to his own use. He
was convicted by a Houston Jury on
Oct. 7, 1960; arrested on a fugitive
warrant two years later and served
time at Huntsville prison.
Seay pleaded nolo contendere —
no defense — to two indictments in
July. 1962, while he was imprisoned,
the record shows, it also shows he
was granted a pardon in 1965.

treasurer
All land improvements in the por-
tion of the site owned by the Santa
Fe railroad for its marshaling yard
"will be on the ad valorem tax
rolls."
The “in lieu" payment agreement
calls for larger outlays by far than
any paid by other public trust Indus-
trial project in the state Stras-
baugh said the tri-county authority
which financed the Weyerbewr Co
timber mill in southeastern Oktaho-
ma paid $353,000 tn Jaawary to
nearly a dozen school distrvrt* and
government units.
The industries authority will em-
ploy an accountant to ana.yze and
make recommendations for distri-
bution of the $500,000 General Mo-
tors annual payment, the officials
said.
Recipients will include the city
government, county library system
and city-county health department,
as well as the many school districts.
Last year, the Oklahoma Legisla-
ture reduced the time period for
trust agreements to 10 years. How-
ever, the GM agreement was tenta-
tively reached before the December
cutoff deadline, so the formula may
be followed for as long as 20 years.
Strasbaugh said
"It is now the uniform policy of
the trustees of OIA to require its in-
dustrial tenants to make public-pur-
pose payments 'in lieu' ad valorem
tax," the statement said. "In the
case of General Motors, both the
OIA and GM officials felt it was
proper for the company to make a
substantial public-purpose payment
for distribution to impacted school
districts and other government
units in Oklahoma County. "
The plant is expected to employ
2,700 workers at the start, with
most coming from central Oklaho-
ma and other parts of the state. Offi-
cials said many of the workers are
perhaps already sending their chil-
dren to city and council schools, and
thus the migration of families with
