Girl blames
injustice
PRAGUE (UPI) - A girl
who killed eight persons
blamed the “injustice of the
world” for her crimes, Prague
court sources said Saturday.
“The world has stars and
scapegoats, and I tried to draw
attention to the latter”, 23-year
old Olga Hepnerova said.
The Prague City Court
condemned her to be hanged.
She refused to appeal, court
sources said.
The pretty, black-haired girl
rented a truck last July and
drove it into a crowd waiting at
a tram stop on a Prague
shopping street. Eight persons
were killed and 12 others
seriously hurt, police said.

Anne Armstrong

By United Press International
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (UPI)
— It took 12 tries and two
bottles, but Anne Armstrong
finally smashed a bottle of
champagne over the bow of the
submarine.
Mrs. Armstrong, a special
counselor to President Nixon,
Saturday launched the “Los
Angeles,” first of a new class

It seems that Weicker said
White House influence had
protected friends of the Presi

Billy Graham, from tax audits.
Wayne’s telegram read:
“Sen. Weicker, for your
information, I have never asked
for, nor have I received, IRS
favors, nor have I needed them.
What I need is protection from
cheap politicians like you. The
IRS has reviewed my taxes
annually and I deeply resent
your using your senatorial
privilege in throwing my name
around.”
MOSCOW (UPI) — Mikhail
Kuzmin, first deputy foreign
trade minister, met Sunday

the week.
Tass said Kuzmin and Imadi

“The U.S. Department of

Eaton said he believed the
Veterans Administration’s hos

good treatment and is “the best

NEW YORK (UPI) — Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.,
says the “evils of racism stain
every aspect of American life.”
Kennedy, in an address to the
Martin Luther King Junior
Center for Social Change, said
the stain can be removed “if
we only have the will to do it.”
Kennedy paid tribute to King,
who was slain six years ago
last Thursday, as a man who
carried a message of compas
sion and wisdom and love to all
Americans.
“We forget too quickly the
message that he carried,”
Kennedy said. “For it is easy
to forget. It is easy to appeal to
the nation’s fears. It is easy to
hate. It is easy to turn away
from the plight of other
people.”
He said today’s struggle for
equality “must be made
against a history of racism...we
must realize that part of every
effort must be the struggle to
erase the shame of racism in
the United States.”
CAIRO (UPI) — President
Anwar Sadat has granted
Egyptian nationality to former

Idriss, who was deposed by

Khadafy in September, 1969,
now lives in Egypt.
It was not immediately clear
what effect Sadat’s decision
would have on Egyptian-Libyan
relations.

Donald Nixon outraged
over gift money talk
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
(UPI) — President Nixon’s
brother Donald says he barely
knows C.G. “Bebe” Rebozo and
is outraged by accusations that
Rebozo gave him part of the
SIOO,OOO Howard Hughes cash.
“Mr. Rebozo never offered
me any money at any time,”
Nixon said at his home here
during the weekend. “I never
asked him for any money and
never at any time received any
money from Mr. Rebozo.”
F. Donald Nixon, 59, de
scribed himself as “outraged
and extremely angered” at
published and broadcast reports
that some of the controversial
Hughes cash went to him and
Rose Mary Woods, the Presi
dent’s personal secretary, for
their personal use.
“I only saw Mr. Reoboz
infrequently and we have never
been close and have never had
a close relationship,” he said.
“That’s all I have to say on
this matter.”
Nixon returned here late last
week after testifying in New
York at the trial of former
Attorney General John Mitchell
and former Commerce Secre
tary Maurice Stans on conspira
cy charges.

CBS news reported that the
President’s personal attorney,
Herbert Kalmbach, had told
members of the Senate Water
gate Committee in a secret
session, that Rebozo had
confided in them that he had
not kept the money untouched
in a safe deposit box in his
Florida bank, as he has
publicly stated. The newspaper
and the network said Kalmbach
told investigators that Rebozo
had turned over part of the
funds to F. Donald Nixon and
Miss Woods.
Miss Woods has also denied
taking the cash.
Rebozo has testified that he
put the money in the bank, did
not tell the President it was
there, and it was returned
eventually to the Hughes
organization.

Luxury liner
wins reprieve
PARIS (UPI) — The luxury
liner France has won a
reprieve and isn’t going out of
service after all.
The French Line said the
liner will resume its normal
transatlantic sailings between
Le Havre and New York May
24 upon completion of its spring
cruises.
The ship is now on a round
the-world cruise that ends May
20.
The parent company of the
France, at 66,300 tons the
largest passenger liner in the
world, gave no explanation for
the decision. It had announced
only last month that the ship
would be taken out of service in
May because the French
government, which owns two
thirds of the parent company,
would cut its subsidy for the
ship.
