Italian police had arrested a man and questioning him
about the $4,800 he was flashing around town The man was
BREATHING HEAVILY and making strange whistling"
noises.
When police asked him to empty his pockets, he discretly
stuck the diamond UP HIS NOSE for safe hiding When he
started panting, police pinched his nose and out popped the
diamond.

ing secretly with the White
House to block the bill, didn’t
think it would be possible to keep
enough conferees away from the
meeting
Reports the memo "Broyhill
advised that preventing c
quorum would be extremely
difficult" Therefore, the Presi
dent's deputy assistant, William
Gorog, recommended that the
White House lobbyists put pres-
sure on 13 key members
Gorog listed them seven
senators and six representatives
-- in a hush-hush memo to chief
White House lobbyist Max
Friedersdorf. “I think it is impor-
tant." Gorog wrote, “to call the
following individuals before the
conference."
On his list were Senators
Howard Baker, R.-Tenn., James
Buckley, Con.-N.Y., Pete
Domenici, R.N.M., James Mc-
Clure. R Idaho. Robert Morgan,
D.-N.C., Jennings Randolph D-
W Va„ and Robert Stafford, R -
Vt.; also Congressmen Tim
Carter, R Ky„ Sam Devine, R.-
Ohio, H. John Heinz, R -Pa, Ed
ward Madigan, R III.,
Richardson Preyer, D.-N.C and
James Symington, D.-Mo
Gorog proposed that each of
them be given this canned pitch:
"As you know the President
sought 18 months ago to have the
questions of significant
deterioration and auto emissions
standards dealth with by the
Congress. However, it does not
appear to us that an acceptable
bill can come out of this con-
ference I hope you would act to
keep an unacceptable bill off the
President’s desk."

Today, the state of our foreign policy
is sound and strong
We are at peace — and I will do all in
my power to keep it that way
' Our military forces are capable and
ready, our military power is without
equal And I intend to keep it that way
“Our principal alliances with the in-
dustrial democracies of the Atlantic
Community and Japan have never been
more solid
"A further agreement to limit the
strategic arms race may be achieved
“We have an improving relationship
with China the world’s most populous
nation
“The key elements for peace among
the nations of the Middle East now exist
"In our Constitutional system, these
policies should reflect consultation and
accommodation between the President
and Congress But in the final analysis,
as the framers of our Constitution knew
from * hard experience, the foreign
relations of the United States can be con-
ducted effectively only if there is strong
central direction that allows flexibility
of action That responsibility clearly
rests with the President ”

The battered British pound isn’t worth much on the money-
exchanges these days, something less than $1 70 at the latest

successfully unloaded his founds for $45 56 each - the kind of
pounds, that is, that most of us carry around in excess s apply
That was the record amount John Williams of Rochester
N Y raised for each pound he lost in a project called the Diet
Workshop Lose-A-Thon for Care
The project began last February when members of the Diet
Workshop, a chain of weight control classes, were officially
weighed in in their iespective communities around the coun
try and then set about seeking pledges from family friends
and business associates
All told more than 1,000 participants in me Lose-A-Thon
dropped a total of 40.423 pounds, which was translated into a

relief agency

"Under the Nixon-Ford administra-

Carter emphasized the need for open
discussions of foreign policy options with
Congress and the American people In
every foreign venture that has failed —
whether it was Vietnam, Cambodia,
Chile or Angola, or in the excesses of the
CIA — our government forged ahead
without consulting the American people
and did things that were contrary to our
basic character," he said

Beginning January 1. the nation s millions of Citizens Band
addicts will gain a little breathing space in their crowded
radio space The Federal Communications Commission
(FCC I had decided to allocate a total of 40 channels to UH an
increase of 17 over the present 23
In doing so, however the FCC has thrown industry a curve
and unnecessarily so. in the opinion of one concerned
observer It is another example of government regulators
regulating without fully considering the effect on the people
they regulate, says V J Rice president of The Antenna
Specialists Co in Cleveland
The effective date of the new channels should have been
. delayed until at least the middle of next year he argues to
enable manufacturers to clear their inventories of 23-channel
models and gear up for production of the new 40-channel
models Already. he says, one consequence of the decision has
been widespread discounting of 23-channel sets with atten
dant economic dislocation in the industry
There will be another scramble he predicts as manufac-
turers submit new 40-channel radios to the FCC for type cer
tif ication This is a process that takes a minimum of a month
and could mean that only a few lucky makers will have ap
proved radios for sale on 40-channel day in January
As a company that makes nothing but communications
antennas and related accessories, and which sells more of
them than any other manufacturer in the country Antenna
Specialists is not directly affected by FCC decision making
But as a CBer himself, and as a person active in the electronic
industry’s affairs, Rice is strongly critical of the corn
mission s entire performance as regards Citizens Band Radio
•At the very least, he points out, the decision has caused
quite a bit of confusion in the minds of consumers, and the
currently available 23-channel radios are now being viewed as
very questionable investments by the buying public
This is unfortunate, says Rice since the 23-channel sets will
provide more than adequate communication ability to any
purchaser Although 40-channel sets will, of course’ have 17
additional channels for conversation, most people aren’t
aware that the range of the 40-channel sets will not be nearly
so great as that of the present 23-channel radios
Anyway he adds the idea that an individual needs 40
channels for conversation borders on the ludicrous, since most
active UBers normally use only about half a dozen channels
The president of another company which does happen to be
directly affected bv FCC decision making agrees with Rice
about the future of 23-channel CB
Not only will the current 23-channel sets continue to be quite
useable but their value in terms of less crowding will in
crease with the addition of the 17 new channels says W l
Thomas president of Pace the largest supplier of CB radios
They will become considerably less congested and easier to
get out on
Consumers who are thinking bout the purchase of a ( B
radio but don t know whether to wait for the 40-channel models
can have the best of both worlds A number of manufac-
turers, including Pace are offering customers who buy 23-
channel sets the opportunity to have their units factory-
modified to 40 channels after January 1. for about 20 per cent
of the unit’s suggested list price
Amid all the confusion and controversy two things are cer
tain The Citizens Band phenomenon is here to stay and the
FCC has not issued its last ruling concerning it And that's a
big ten four
