Griffin youngster
gets part in ‘Mame’
BARNESVILLE — Singing is
only doing “what comes
naturally” for Alan Love. The
11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Gene Love of Griffin, will play
the part of Patrick in Gordon
Junior College’s upcoming
production of “Mame.”
Alan comes from a musical
family. His father is a musical
consultant with CESA, a choir
director, and former band
director in a school. It seems
only normal that he have an
interest in music. What is ab
normal is that a sixth grader
should be starring in a college
musical.
For an 11-year-old, Alan’s
musical experience is varied
and wide. While his father was
attending Southern Seminary in
Louisville, Ky., Alan was a
member of the Louisville Boy’s
Choir. The choir, made up of 40
boys selected from the entire
city, gave local concerts and
made some out of town ap

Ford thinks
Nixon should
give up tapes
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Nixon intends to
deliver a “sufficient, compre
hensive and complete” re
sponse to the House Judiciary
Committee’s subpoena for Wa
tergate tapes and documents,
White House officials said
today.
The President was under new
public pressure from Vice
President Gerald R. Ford to
give the committee what it
wants.
“I hope and trust in the next
48 to 72 hours the White House
will cooperate with the House
Judiciary Committee,” Ford
told the American Newspaper
Publishers Association conven
tion in New York Monday. “I
hope the White House will
follow that pattern. I’ve told
him (Nixon) he should do
anything reasonable to clear
things up.”
But even as the President
prepared his reply to the

Alan also had a role in the
Louisville Opera Society’s
production of “La Boheme.”
Despite his broad experiences,
Alan has never had voice
lessons. According to his father,
Alan picked up most of his
music knowledge based on what
he learned in church choirs and
heard around the house.
Making night practices can be
a problem for an 11-year-old,
but things have worked out.
Mrs. Love is a night student at
Gordon and she brings Alan to
rehearsal on the nights she has
classes. It’s kind of a family
affair.
As Patrick in the “Mame”
production, Alan will play the
part of the nephew who
becomes the responsibility of
Mame, a socialite in New York.

SAN FRANCISCO—Patricia Hearst’s picture went up on a “wanted” poster in post offices
and other federal buildings. The poster said the kidnaped girl is wanted as a “material
witness” in the robbery of the Hibernia Bank here. Also shown are four persons charged
with the robbery. The poster said the latter should be considered armed and extremely
dangerous. (UPI)
107 aboard
No survivors
in Bali crash
DENPASAR, Bali (UPI) -
Airborne rescue teams found no
signs of life today in the
scattered wreckage of a Pan
American World Airways jetlin
er that crashed into jungle
mountainside on the island of
Bali with with 107 persons
aboard.
Search and rescue coordina
tion headquarters on the resort
island said by nightfall helicopt
ers and other rescue aircraft
had not sighted survivors when
they overflew the crash site on
a 4,783-foot mountain slope.
Among the 96 passengers and
11 crewmembers were 26
Americans, one of them Hilton
Hotel executive Maurice Rey
mond of New York City.
A Pan American spokesman
in New York said that by
nightfall rescue teams got only
within three miles of the crash
site after 15 hours of struggling
through heavy undergrowth
over rugged terrain.
The jetliner, flying from
Hong Kong to Los Angeles with
several Pacific stops, carried 96
passengers and a crew of 11.
Nothing Unusual
Bali airport officials said they
could detect nothing unusual
before radio contact with the
plane was lost.
A helicopter flew over the
area late in the afternoon, but
the pilot reported he was
hampered by low clouds and
did not land, rescue headquar
ters said.
Police said the jetliner
apparently struck Mt. Mesehe
about 339 feet below the
summit. The plane would have
had to pass between Mt.
Mesehe and the nearby Mt.
Tingatinga before approaching
the airport at Denpasar, Bali’s
main city.
Rescue teams which flew
over the area reported seeing
smoke rising from the pieces of
debris. An Indonesian army
spokesman said military rescue
