Pollution
Industry coming up clean;
cities and counties dirty
ATLANTA (UPl)—lndustry is
coming out clean, but cities and
counties are staying dirty, ac
cording to a study released by
the state Environmental Protec
tion Division (EPD).
The study said industry has
made a real effort to abate
water pollution. But municipali
ties are lagging on pollution con
trol efforts, the study said.
“Today it can be rightfully re
ported that control of industrial
wastewaters, while not com
plete, is very close to solution,”
the report said.
The only industrial polluter
which hasn’t cooperated in pol
lution abatement is American
Cyanamid Co., Savannah, ac
cording to the report.
The state has fined American
Cyanamid for failure to meet
a Dec. 31, 1972, pollution abate
ment deadline but the case is
tied up in legal maneuverings.
EPD Deputy Director Leonard
Ledbetter said the state now
must turn to some 500 smaller

It’s great to be popular. But it's not surprising.
After all, Aetna’s All-Driver Plan offers some
remarkable advantages.
For one thing, AStna just threw away the book
to give you a better deal on ear insurance costs
and coverage. With All-Driver, AStna introduces
an entirelynew, different method of insuring drivers.
For the first time, what you pay for your insurance
depends entirely on objective facts about you, your
car and accident statistics in your area. Not on
some individual's personal opinion.
So if your present insurance company is already
giving you a break for your safe driving record,
chances are we can give you a better break. Even
if your record is less than perfect, it could still
pay you to look into All-Driver—because we
designed it to meet the insurance needs of nearly
everyone who has a driver’s license.

Cook quizzed about pressure
WASHINGTON (UPI) - G.
Bradford Cook, chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission, faces Senate question
ing today about whether he
bowed to Republican pressures
in the performance of his
duties.
The New York grand jury
that indicted former Attorney
General John N. Mitchell and
former Commerce Secretary
Maurice H. Stans on charges of
perjury, conspiring to obstruct
justice and to defraud the
United States made the accusa
tion against Cook, but did not
indict him.
It alleged that Cook, while
general counsel of the SEC
before President Nixon elevated
him to chairman last winter,
bowed to Stans’ persuasion and
dropped reference in a SEC
lawsuit to a secret $250,000 cash
contribution to President
Nixon’s re-election campaign.
Alleged Donation from Vesco
The contribution allegedly
came from Robert L. Vesco,
who is one of 42 defendants
charged in the SEC suit with
having “looted” $224 million
from four mutual funds.
On May 1, Cook was asked by
Sen. William Proxmire, chair
man of the Senate appropria
tions subcommittee which
oversees the SEC budget,
whether anyone in the adminis
tration had approached him in
connection with the SEC’s
investigation into the Vesco
case.
He replied, according to
Proxmire, that he had received
only one inquiry, from Stans.

NEW YORK—-Time Magazine said Sunday that Martha
Mitchell, wife of former Attorney General John Mitchell, has
undergone treatment for a nervous breakdown. But Mrs.
Mitchell, shown here returning to her apartment denies it.
(UPI)
He said it came after the SEC
had filed its complaint against
Vesco.
The transcript of Cook’s
testimony was routinely sent to
him to check its accuracy.
He altered his answer in
correcting the transcript and
last Wednesday, the day before
the New York indictments were
handed down, returned the
corrected version to Proxmire.
His New Answer
His new answer said he had
talked to Stans about the Vesco
matter several times—both
before and after the complaint
was filed.

Skylab shot
By DAVID L. LANGFORD
COCOA BEACH, Fla. (UPI)
— Prisoners of war who were
denied a chance to watch
America’s Apollo flights to the
moon had fronts ow seats today
for the launch of America’s
first manned space station.
The three Skylab astronauts,
who will ride a rocket Tuesday
to catch up with their orbiting
laboratory, personally invited
600 former POWs to the double
barreled blastoff.
Only 34 responded, but that
was not the fault of the
townspeople, who offered the
POWs their homes and apart
ments in case they couldn’t find
motel rooms. Some even
volunteered to feed them, take
them on cruises and babysit
their children.
Kings and queens, Hollywood
stars and the nation’s presi
dents once watched space
launches from bleachers in the
marches at Cape Kennedy, but
the top name on the VIP list for
this shot—not counting the
POWs —was Abdalla bin
Hussain al-Amar, president of
the consultative assembly of
the Yemen Arab Republic.
Traffic Relatively Light
Police were gearing to handle
a crowd of 500,000, but traffic
was relatively light along the
miles of Brevard County
beaches on the eve of the
launch.
About 1,000 newsmen were
here to cover the first Skylab
blastoff, less than half as many
as were on hand when the
target was the moon. A total of
1,717 had applied for creden
tials, as compared with 3,497
here for the first moon mission.
But even if the 1,000 should
write oily a couple of pages
each, it would fill a wlume the
Size of War and Peace.
“I just don’t understand it,”
said one girl from Orlando, Fla.
‘To me this is much more
exciting than the third or fourth
moon flights, but you can’t get
the public interested in it”
The Skylab fligit, while
valuable to science, is like
taking a cruise without stopping
he had done more.
It said Stans “would and did
cause Cook to delete all specific
references to the $250,000 in
cash...”
It also charged that Cook met
with Harry L. Sears, former
Republican majority leader of
the New Jersey Senate, and
William J. Casey, then SEC
chairman and now undersecre
tary of state for economic
affairs, to discuss the SEC
investigation. It said the
meetings occurred in May,
June, July and August, 1972.
Proxmire said Cook would be
questioned behind closed doors
by the subcommittee. An aide
said he would be under oath.

Inmate guides
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Former inmates of the old
federal prison on Alcatraz may
be among the guides when the
“rock” in San Francisco Bay is
opened to the public for tours.
William Whelan, superintend
ent of the new Golden Gate
National Recreation Area which
includes Alcatraz, said Satur
day that several former prison
ers have already applied for
jobs as guides and their
applications will be “seriously
considered.”
A final decision on what to do
with the former prison island is
at least five years in the future,
Whelan said, but in the
meantime the public will be
admitted for tours beginning in
the late fall or early winter.
Riot
Unmanagable conditions blamed
NEW RIVER, Fla. (UPI) -
Violence among inmates at two
Florida prisons during the week
end which left one convict dead
and 48 injured was blamed by
alegislator on “unmanageable”
penal conditions.
Convicted murderer Jimmy
Freeman, 23, of Miami was stab
bed to death and three other
prisoners wounded in a knife
fight at the Bradford County
state prison branch here Sun
day night.
Inter-racial fight ing had erupt
ed less than 24 hours earlier
among 150 prisoners of the Sum
ter Correctional Institution in
Bushnell 100 miles to the south.
Bradford County Prison Supe
rintendent Sidney Fortner said
the knifing Sunday night involv
ed only white prisoners and
there appeared to be no connec
tion with Saturday night’s vio
lence at Bushnell where Hack
inmates held five whites as hos
tages.
“I think the corrections peo

can with what’s available, but

New residence
SEAGOVILLE, Tex. (UPI) -
Four. baboons, apparently es
capees from the now defunct
World of Animals in nearby
Mesquite, Tex., have taken up
residence in a wooded area
near a trailer park. Area
residents are concerned it
might become a permanent
colony.
“The apes occasionally come
out of the woods but run off
when anyone approaches,”
Seagoville City Manager Frank
Kirk said. “We’ve set baited
traps with fruit in them to no
avail and tried to shoot the
animals with tranquilizer guns,
tait we couldn’t get close
enough.”
Residents of the area have
complained that the wild
baboons might pose a danger
for their children, but Kirk said
animal experts said the ba
boons wouldn’t hurt anyone,
unless they were cornered.
