(UPI) 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 *% 4 3. so * 6 °° j""??- I # /5" Afooo Ifterna <27 g I */q I I - s . 0| >l?o 'J^^* >t/O/V bip Lo-bon .* v rfsstrfed fiwfcn ~ /€> 2 '-J * r wn Serf ty if x ' [%& ? * ;: \- * Z J i ' ,t ■n*™ CLAXTON’S jfip .X PHARMACY «g i ____J 131 W.

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 ■* nHHH BIG 20 FT CHEST C OR I FREEZER 75!F I 700 LBS.

I am personally impressed about how well some people do after they have made a complete recovery from the initial heart attack.
