Debate continues
on Alaska pipeline
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sup
porters of legislation to clear
the way for construction of the
$3.5 billion trans-Alaska pipe
line are nearing a showdown
with Midwest members of
Congress who want a Canadian
route studied first.
The Senate opened debate on
the bill Monday and approved
an amendment that would
speed up the application of
tough new controls on tankers
carrying Alaskan oil. Sponsors
hoped this would ease the fears
of environmentalists about oil
spills. Further debate was
planned today.
The bill, approved by the
Senate Interior Committee, is
designed to overturn court
rulings that have held the
pipeline cannot be constructed
because its right-of-way would

Bahamas gain
independence
By MARTIN P. HOUSEMAN
NASSAU, Bahamas (UPI) -
The Bahamas, 700 islands
bathed in sun and Gulf Stream
breezes, gained independence
from the British crown today
and became the world’s 143rd
sovereign state.
Three centuries as a British
colony ended at one minute
before midnight when a police
band played “God Save the
Queen” and the Union Jack
descended a 45-foot flag pole
for the last time.
In its place, the black, gold
and aquamarine flag of the new
nation rose over ceremonies at
the Clifford Park rugby field as
the band switched to “March
on Bahamaland” and fireworks
exploded in a shower of
brilliant colors against the
night sky.
Prince Charles, representing
Queen Elizabeth II and wearing
a white and blue navy uniform,
saluted as the Union Jack was
lowered at the stadium, which
sits atop a grassy knoll
overlooking the Atlantic.
57,000 Watch
Some 7,000 Bahamians, from
uniformed school children to
cabinet ministers, sat in the
stadium and 50,000 more
watched from vantage points
outside.
The ceremony was the
Maddox fires off
another telegram
to President Nixon
ATLANTA (UPI) - Lt. Gov.
lister Maddox advised Presi
dent Nixon Monday to change
his decision and testify before
the Watergate senate com
mittee as staying was “an
admission of guilt.”
In one of his frequent tele
grams to the White House Mad
dox said, “If you are to remain
as President of the United
States of America and meet
culmination of a “bloodless
revolution” proclaimed by Lyn
den O. Pindling, the islands’
black prime minister and
leader of the majority Progres
sive Liberal party.
Pindling, who was driven to
the ceremony in a $42,000 Rolls
Royce that he described as a
gift from his followers, was
seated next to Prince Charles.
Neither the prince nor Pin
dling spoke at the ceremony,
which was proceeded by a folk
pageant of the islands’ history
and the singing of an Anglican
hymn, “O God Our Help in
Ages Past.”
The United States was
represented by Secretary of the
Interior Rogers C. B. Morton.
Also attending were actor
Sidney Poitier, a native Baha
mian, and comedian Flip
Wilson.
The ceremony ended a
political process begun in 1967,
when Pindling’s party wrested
power from the predominantly
white minority. In elections last
fall, the Progessive Liberals
won again on a platform
largely based on a pledge of
independence.
The islands, located off
Florida, were discovered by
Christopher Columbus, and
have a population of about
168,000, 85 per cent black.
your responsibilities to the
people of this great country
then you have no other alterna
tive but to come forward...”
“Your refusal to cooperate
fully in getting at the truth
about the Watergate crime and
scandal and how it was plotted,
financed, and covered up by
people in your administration,
leaves most American people
believing that your refusal is
an admission of guilt on your
part and that you have no real
defense,” Maddox said.
Maddox said Nixon’s reason
of wanting to protect the
powers of the presidency was
an “excuse.”
“You certainly have a con
stitutional obligation to pre
serve intact the powers and
prerogatives of the President,”
Maddox said, “but in using this
as an excuse...you are jeopard
izing and ignoring the U.S.
Constitution and the right of the
American people to know the
truth.”
Attempt
to delay
trial fails
MARIETTA, Ga. (UPI)-De
fense attorneys for the four
suspects accused of murdering
a local doctor and his physician
wife failed Monday to delay the
trial as jury selection began by
order of Superior Court Judge
Luther C. Hames Jr.
Hames turned down defense
requests for a change of venue
and for release of tapes held
by the prosecution. Hames said
the defense was not entitled to
listen to the tapes of the pros
ecution’s star witness, Debbie
Kidd, who made statements
about the 1971 murders of Dr.
Warren Matthews and his wife,
Rosina, while under hypnosis.
Hames had also ruled earlier
that Miss Kidd, who admitted
in the tapes of taking an unwill
ing part in the murders, did not
have to talk to defense law
yers.
The Matthews’ were slain
May 7, 1971 outside their home
in an apparent robbery at
tempt. Two men have been
convicted and the remaining
four defendants are being tried
together.
They are Larry Hacker, Alton
Wayne Ruff, James Hoyt
Powell and Billy Richard Jen
kins.
Attorneys for the four have
charged that Miss Kidd was in
Greenville, S.C. at the time of
the murders and that the pros
ecution is using “trumped up”
evidence.
Defense attorneys had filed
suit against prosecutor George
Darden and other Cobb County
officials, but the suit was halt
ed by the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans.
Something can be done
Doctor treats heart ailment
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb — I am ter
ribly depressed because I've
been told by my doctor that
nothing can be done for my
heart attacks caused by ather
osclerosis. I can hardly be
lieve this. I was hospitalized
last year for about three
weeks and given all kinds of
tests, then about two months
later I had another attack.
The first one occurred in Bi
ble class and the second one
in church. I didn't have any
undue excitement of any kind
previous to either attack.
What is your opinion, doctor?
I've been on some medicine
for high blood pressure, and
also Coumadin to keep my
blood from clotting. I have
blood tests and checkups regu
larly. The doctor said on my
last examination that my
blood tests, blood pressure
and electrocardiogram were
all satisfactory, but I'm afraid
to move for fear I'll have an
other heart attack.
Dear Reader — Your doctor
is doing something about your
heart attacks. This is what the
medicine to treat your blood
pressure and the Coumadin to
prevent blood coagulation is
for. He's studying the function
of your heart and circulatory
system to regulate your medi
cine and. if necessary, insti
tute other measures.
I'm sure that what your
doctor tried to explain to you
was that the disease itself, the
atherosclerosis, was difficult
to treat, and the damage that
had already been done to your
heart from the previous at
tack was there to stay. This
doesn't mean, however, that
you can t make a good recov
ery or that there is nothing at
all that can be done to help
you maintain your health in
the best condition.
Your diet is important. If
you have any excess weight, it
can be eliminated by a sensi
ble program. You should be
on a moderately restricted fat
diet, restricted in saturated
fats and limited in cholester
ol. By proper diet, often you
can reverse the fattv deposits
that develop in the arteries.
This has been demonstrated in
animals. You can't eliminate
the scar in the heart muscle
or some of the scarring that
develops in the arteries when
they've been damaged from
fatty deposits, or the calcium
deposits that gradually devel
op around where the fatty
deposits are in the walls of
the arteries. But. I would like
to stress that there are things
which can be done.
Anyone with a severe car
diac problem is usually able
to do more if the body weight
is decreased. It's very simple.
The body must work harder to
move 200 pounds across the
room than it does to move
100. This means there's less
work for the heart and circu
lation to move a small body
weight around. There are
other beneficial effects too.
The blood pressure is often
significantly lowered if a per
son has any excess fat and
eliminates it.
It's important for people
who've had a heart attack to
be given some reassurance.
Many people do make excel
lent recoveries. I know that
it's common to sit around and
worry about what may happen
after an episode, but appre
ciating the fact that some
benefits can be achieved, and
that if you've recovered well
enough to go home that you
may well have a reasonably
good outlook, should help to

dispel the discouragement
that some people have. I am
personally impressed about
