Soubasefski, who was returning to his native country after earning his “fortune” here, went to the airport July 6 with $25,500 in cash and traveler’s checks in a suitcase and a .22 caliber gun. But he never got on the plane because he was arrested for carrying the gun. Then, after he was released on bond July 7, he was robbed of his fortune by two strangers who had promised to get him a lawyer. (UPI) Shoots his wife 7 did it for my honor’ FROSINONE, Italy (UPI) — “I did it for my honor,” explained Salvatore Nappo. “She was not a virgin and she did not have the courage to tell me.” And that, Nappo said when he surrendered to police, was why he shot his bride of four days. His bride, Anna Nenna, 21, had been shot four times at point blank range in the neck and throat and left at the side of a country road 46 miles south of Rome. It was a familiar story in Italy, where until a few years ago a woman, but not a man, could go to prison for adultery and where a sexual code of “honor” once let men some times go free even in cases of murder. But in the Nappo case there was a bitterly ironic twist. A • • The better the insulation, the less your cooling costs. H-4-1 [SI 111 11 1 LL_LJ | 1111 6" insulation in attic 3" insulation in walls Unit size 24,000 BTU Season’s cooling $104.29* Insulation makes a difference in cooling (or heating) bills. Proper insulation also reduces the size and cost of cooling/heating equipment needed. If the home above had just two inches of attic insulation, it would require a 33.000 BTU unit, and a season’s cooling costs would be 5143.39.* As a barrier to the flow of heat, insulation keeps the heat out during summer and in during winter. So even without air conditioning, it helps keep your house cooler in summer. Insulation comes in rolls, batts or loose-fill. A six-inch thickness is recommended in the ceiling, three inches in walls and floors. To be more exact, insulation is labeled with an R value showing its ability to resist heat. The better its insulating value, the higher the number. Recommended R values are R-19 for ceilings and R-l I for walls and floors. Unless you're building, installing insulation can be a little tricky. But it can be added to your attic and basement. An insulating contractor or supplier can advise you on making improvements. With proper insulation, you should see import ant savings on cooling (and heating) bills. At the same time, you’ll help conserve energy resources. And that's important, too.

In his prison cell in nearby Ferentino, Nappo wept. Both the 28-year-old Nappo and his bride were Neapolitans. They married June 1 and set out by car on a honeymoon. Nappo told police he felt an incontrollable rage after be coming convinced that his wife was intimate with someone else before their marriage. In his hometown, he said, honor was a life and death matter. But, he said, he waited to act until they went for a drive on a quiet country road. There, he said, he parked, fired four shots, threw his wife’s body from the car and drove off. Several hours later, Nappo went to a lawyer who advised him to surrender to police. The men of Mrs. Nappo’s family came to Frosinone the next day, convinced even before the autopsy that it was her honor that was wronged. “I have always checked closely around my four daugh ters because I am an old fashioned man,” said Giuseppe Nenna, “and I have a highly developed sense of the serious ness of a woman, of her honor. “Not one single time did Anna leave the house without my sending my little grandson together with her,” he said. “At night, she never returned after 8 o’clock, otherwise there was a scene.” After the autopsy was com pleted, they took Anna home for burial. Nixon sees hostile signs By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Nixon saw evidence of a drop in his popularity caused by the Watergate scandal Monday when he stopped in Kansas City, Mo., en route back to the White House from California. Hostile signs appeared in the crowd when he swore in Clarence M. Kelley, the Kansas City police chief, as new director of the FBI. Some of the signs said: “Impeachment with Honor.” “Conspirator or Uninformed Fool? ” “Impeach Adolf Nixon.” “Honesty, Now More Than Ever.” About 12,000 persons turned out for the ceremony staged in front of the federal building where Nixon, in off-the-cuff remarks, sought to reassure the nation that Watergate disclo sures involving the FBI had not shattered the FBI. “I have often said, and I have visited most of the countries of the world, that the best national law enforcement agency in the world is the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion,” Nixon said. “It is still the best. And second, I will say that the best national law enforcement agen cy in the world deserves the best law enforcement officer in the world as its director.” “Chief Kelley is that man, and he is going to demonstrate that to the country,” he said. As he spoke a voice yelled out: “What about crime in the White House.” Some 200 young demon strators, shunted off to the side, booed and chanted “racist pigs have got to go” as the President ticked off a litany of his achievements including the fact that he had ended the draft. The crowd reaction was unenthusiastic although there was polite applause. Spectators on the street smiled or waved but the turnout did not match Nixon’s previous visits to the “Show Me State.” Dr. Abernathy charges some blacks have abandoned SCLC ATLANTA (UPI)-The black middle class has abandoned the civil rights movement, accord ing to Dr. Ralph D. Abernathy, and “it is hard to ask for money from white people be cause you can’t beg a man and fight him at the same time.” Thus Abernathy, who took over the presidency of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) when Mar tin Luther King Jr. was slain, announced Monday he was re signing. He made it clear that he felt SCLC was on its deathbed, its staff cut back by more than 50 per cent from King’s heyday in the 19605, and its finances $50,- 000 in red. Blames King Widow He blamed affluent blacks in general, but mentioned by name only King’s widow, Coretta. Al though she “still receives 100 per cent of my backing,” Aber nathy said, she singlehandedly could have saved the organiza tion her husband founded by sharing money she had raised for the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Social Change. “lam resigning because of a lack of financial support,” Aber nathy said at a long, emotional news conference. He said blacks had attained high positions through the strug gles of SCLC and “the struggles of other poor people, but will not support SCLC financially and make it possible for this organization to meet its obliga- An open letter on the gasoline shortage to: Representative: John J. Flynt, Jr. We are publishing this letter in your home town newspaper, and in those of the other Members of Congress, because we want you and your constituents to have the facts about the gasoline shortage as we see them. We are doing this because many people are being misled by the absolute nonsense, totally unsupported charges, and outright lies being spread around by a variety pf people. For example: "There are sufficient supplies available to the oil industry so that there need be no serious shortage of gasoline or any other petroleum product for any purpose in this nation’.’ "But the fact is, much of the so-called en ergy crisis is being concocted in the board rooms and public relations offices of the nation's major oil companies'.' “I suggest that circumstantial evidence supports the conclusion that the major oil companies are using the fuel shortage they helped create to drive out their competition? What these and other such statements boil down to is a series of charges that the shortage is contrived. That it is a hoax per petrated by oil companies to raise prices and drive unbranded marketers out of busi ness. That it is a massive conspiracy, a price gouge to end all price gouges. Not one of these charges is true. All are based on misinformation. Some are out right lies. Here are the facts. I. Gasoline production is at an all time high When they hear the word "shortage’,’ many people think the industry must be supplying /ess than before. Far from it. The U.S. oil industry is making more gasoline than ever before-5% more than last year. That translates into an increase of 13,700,000 gallons a day above 1972- which would have been more than enough to meet the demand growth of almost any previous year in history. The problem is that with gasoline production up 5% over last year, demand is up about 6.2%. The short ages, which may come and go due to tem porary swings in demand and supply, have shown up in the fact that some service sta tions occasionally run out of gasoline, and many dealers have chosen to operate on shorter hours and to close on Sundays. 11. Political decisions have pro duced the shortage The following factors, all essentially re sulting from political decisions, have pro duced today's shortage: (1) While potentially large oil reserves are believed to lie off the U.S. East and West Coasts-our most promising oil province, since the onshore U.S. has been more heavily drilled-up than any other part of the world—these offshore areas are barred to exploration, and U.S. crude production is dropping. Oil companies had no control over this. tions and commitments. “If poor people are unable to finance the movement but can and will supply the troops, then certainly the middle class black people who have arrived and now receive fairly decent sal aries should supply the fi nances,” he said. Abernathy had criticized Mrs. King earlier this year for not sharing with SCLC the money made at a benefit performance she organized. Mrs. King issued a brief state ment Monday which ignored Abernathy’s criticism of her and praised the 44 - year -old Baptist minister. “I regret that Rev. Abernathy felt it necessary to resign be cause his efforts had not been adequately supported, especially by many of those persons whose needs SCLC had served. “His long years of dedicated service to SCLC and the move ment place him in the forefront with those who have given lead ership in a most difficult period of our nation’s history,” she said. Abernathy said he would re main a member of SCLC to help it stay on the path of non violence laid out by King. He refused to recommend a suc cessor, brushing aside mentions of Jesse Jackson, one-time economic director of SCLC, on grounds that Jackson is no longer a member of SCLC. Jackson, who left SCLC after a squabble with Abernathy over a “black Expo” which he organ ized, is heading the Chicago based PUSH economic improve ment program. SCLC was formed in 1958, an outgrowth of the Montgomery Improvement Association, which carried out the successful bus boycott in the Alabama capital. King led the organization through a pattern of sit-ins, mass protest marches and frequent jail terms, much of which resulted in massive civil rights legislation in Congress. Abernathy was chief financial and budgetary officer of SCLC and a close friend of King when the latter was assassinated five GAS RANGES by ENTERPRISE A Good Selection In Styles And Colors IEEII In Sizes 20” - 30" and 36” We Also Sell SPEED QUEEN WASHERS & DRYERS - n i AVAILABLE AT — GOODE-NICHOLS FURNITURE 206South Hill Street Phone 227-9436 (2) Over five years after the largest oil field ever discovered in North America was found on the North Slope of Alaska, con struction of a pipeline to bring this oil to market is still stalled. Oil companies had no control over this. (3) The United States is short of refining capacity, and will be critically short in a year or two, as a result of erratic government import policies, environmental constraints, and inability to bring the largest, most eco nomical tankers into U.S. ports. Oil com panies had no control over this. (4) In terms of volumes, demand for gasoline is growing well over twice as much as it did during the 19605, with pollution control eguipment and convenience de vices such as air-conditioners accounting for a large part of this year’s increase. Oil companies had no control over this. (5) The shortage of natural gas caused by ill-advised government regulatory poli cies has forced industrial users to use large guantities of heating oil, which has caused a shortage of that product for the consumer. Oil companies had no control over this (6) Two of the major oil-exporting coun tries in the Middle East and North Africa have reduced crude oil production. Oil companies had no control over this. (7) Price controls are impeding the im portation of higher-priced oil products into our country. Oil companies had no control over this. 111. Is there a conspiracy? Is the shortage contrived? If there was ever an industry in which it would be impossible to conspire, it’s oil. Conspiracy reguires secrecy. If you stop to think of all the bodies of government-in every branch of government, at every level -that have long involved themselves in our business, you’ll realize we couldn’t conspire if we wanted to. We operate in a fishbowl. Dozens of agencies of the federal gov ernment, a horde of Congressional com mittees, and agencies of the 50 states and various municipalities regulate, investigate, or monitor the oil industry’s activities. Further, oil companies-even the largest ones-are so widely divergent in their size, their interests, their needs, their opportuni ties, and their views that it would be impos sible to put a conspiracy together. Oil is one of the least-concentrated major industries in the world. No oil company supplies as much as 9% of the U .S. gasoline market. IV. The “independent” marketers You have doubtless seen charges that “the major oil companies" are cutting off gasoline supplies to non-major-brand ("independent") marketers to drive them out of business. You should know that the overwhelming majority of service station dealers in this country are independent businessmen, whether they sell under the Mobil brand M©bil* years ago in Memphis while leading a sanitation workers’ strike. After assuming the pres idency, Abernathy continued the trend away from general civil rights and into specific areas of economic betterment for blacks. But he could never win the wide popularity accorded King, despite traveling widely throughout the world, including a visit to Russia. He con sistently refused to become involved with more militant black organizations, such as the Muslims and Black Panthers. When the Panthers opened an office in Atlanta, Abernathy wel comed them but said SCLC was “not even in dialogue with them.” name or the brand of one of our major competitors or under their own private brand. All these dealers set their own retail prices, their working conditions, and usu ally their hours of operation. Many non-major-brand marketers have in the past chosen to rely on day-to-day purchases of gasoline from oil companies instead of entering into long-term supply arrangements. This policy worked to their advantage as long as supplies were ade guate, and especially when there were surpluses. Now that the surplus has dis appeared, they are having difficulty obtain ing gasoline. As for Mobil, we have established an al location system to ensure fair treatment of our customers. We believe this system will enable us to supply these customers at least as much gasoline and other refined products this year as last year. V. Where do we go from here? It’s going to take several years to remedy the situation. A pipeline has to be built to move the oil discovered over five years ago on the North Slope of Alaska. The outer continental shelf off the U.S. East and West Coasts has to be opened to exploration for new reserves of oil and natural gas. Super ports have to be built. Oil companies must be enabled to obtain satisfactory sites for new refineries. Massive research and devel opment programs have to be undertaken to make the production of non-conven tional oil and gas from oil shale and coal economically feasible and environmentally safe. Construction of nuclear power plants to generate electricity must be accelerated. All of these reguire long lead times, and they can’t be accomplished by the oil indus try alone. This is why Mobil has been running news paper ads across the country, and doing a good many other things, to urge people to conserve gasoline and to use all energy more efficiently. As a further step in this direction, we have totally eliminated our gasoline advertising and are focusing our efforts on providing greater public informa tion on how our country can tackle its energy problems rationally and eguitably. VI. Why this letter Our intention is not to get into a posture of chargesand counter-charges, but rather to accomplish two things: (1) To set the record straight on the gaso line shortage and to put the lie to the charge of conspiracy; to help people understand the shortage is real and will be with us for some while; and to suggest practical ways to cope withit. (2) To try to elicit from you and your con stituents a national effort, such as our coun try has not seen since World War 11, to use wisely the energy resources available to us and to establish new policies to alleviate energy problems in the years just ahead.
