Ewing Scott Beverly McKittrick
Gleason divorce contested
■: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPI) - Jackie Gleason’s
■: second wife has contested her husband’s divorce action
and is apparently hoping for a reconciliation.
Mrs. Gleason, 41, the former Beverly McKittrick, filed a
petition in Circuit Court here asking the court to dismiss
her husband’s divorce suit and to delay all proceedings to
give the couple time to effect a reconciliation.
Gleason, 58, married the former secretary whom he met
:• on a golf course in England in 1970 following a widely
:• publicized divorce from his first wife.
Evader surrenders
SANFRANCISCO (UPI) —A young San Francisco man
who somehow escaped the government’s draft evasion
lists is the first to turn himself in under President Ford’s
amnesty plan.
John Barry, 22, long-haired and mustachioed,
surrendered to Justice Department officials Tuesday,
confessing he failed to register for the draft when he was
18.
“We had just invaded Cambodia and I was very nervous
and didn’t want to go in,” he said.
Scott is due parole
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI) - L. Ewing Scott, 78,
convicted in 1957 of murdering his wealthy socialite wife,
will be freed on parole from San Quentin prison Nov. 1.
In one of the most publicized murder trials in California
history, Scott, a self-styled “investment broker” was
found guilty of slaying 63-year-old Mrs. Evelyn Thrbsby
Scott in order to gain control of her estate.
The woman, whose body was never found, vanished
from her home in the swank Bel-Air district of Los
Angeles in 1955.
A spokesman for the state Department of Corrections
said the aging prisoner will work at a private residential
facility when he is paroled.
Credibility concern
COLUMBUS, Neb. (UPI) — Harold W. Andersen,
president of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, says newsmen do a good job but should be
concerned about their credibility and about threats to
press freedom.
“On the whole, I believe the nation’s newsmen do a
better, more balanced job of presenting the news than
they are generally given credit for,” Andersen, president
of the Omaha World-Herald, told a luncheon of the
Nebraska Broadcasters Association and the Columbus
Rotary Club Tuesday.
But, he added, “very substantial minority” of the public
is “very bitter” about the way the Watergate affair was
reported. He added that judges have closed hearings or
issued “gag” orders limiting what newsmen can report in
“an alarming number of recent cases.”

I changing name to Reform
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - The
newly-formed National Presby
terian Church, under threat of
a law suit, voted Tuesday night
:$ to change its name to the Na

:< More than 600 delegates from
18 states approved the new

g suggestions, including the Amer

the International Presbyterian

The name change was relayed

| Justice files suit
| against Devry school
§ WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Justice Department has filed a
$ civil suit against the Devry In
stitute of Technology in Atlanta,
__ charging racial discrimination
in its student housing referral
service.
The suit and a consent de
cree, which requires the insti
tute to make all housing avail
able without regard to race,
were filed Tuesday in U. S.
District Court here.
The suit charged that Devry
steered black students to a
mostly black dormitory and
used coded records to refer
white students to apartments
and boarding homes that accept
whites only.
Assistant Attorney General J.
Stanley Pottinger, head of the
Civil Rights Division, said Dev
ry officials signed the consent
decree yet denied any past law
violations.
Graham, a frequent visitor to
the White House before Nixon
was forced to resign, said at a
news conference Tuesday that
he talked to Nixon by telephone
three weeks ago, suggesting a
visit. Nixon “said that it was
not convenient and that he was
in a great deal of pain, the
evangelist said.
The Los Angeles Times
reported today that another
doctor has backed up the
urging of Nixon’s personal
physician that he enter a
hospital soon. “Three hospitals
are not promoted.”
Under Murphy’s proposal, an
independent, seven - member
board would appoint the safety
commissioner, rather than the
governor. The proposed board
also would have control of pro
motions within the safety de
partment, including the State*
Patrol.
The proposed board would

The Washington church had
threatened suit after the new
denomination adopted the name
National Presbyterian Church
when it broke off from the
Presbyterian Church in the U.S.
last December. Denomination
leaders said at the time they
were aware of the name simil
arity but thought the Washing
ton church was local and not na
tional in scope.
Church leaders said, however,
the church is a national shrine
of the United Presbyterian
Church in the USA and holds
fund-raising drives on a nation
wide basis.
“The church leaders said they
were in the midst of a fund-rais
ing campaign and felt the
similiar names caused con
fusion,” said W. Jack William-
The consent decree requires
Devry to make its non - dis
criminatory policies known, and
requires it to obtain a statement
of nondiscrimination from the
manager or owner of any hous
ing facility it recommends to
students.
In addition, the institute will
be required to keep records for
three years of the names of
owners or managers who de
cline to accept Devry students
because of the policy, along
with reasons for their refusals.
The Justice Department also
negotiated a fair housing agree
ment with Bell & Howell
Schools, Inc., which owns the
Devry Institute. In the agree
ment, which was submitted to
the court for its information,
Bell & Howell Schools said it

Murphy said he believes it is

House panel trims
Nixon expense bill
WASHINGTON (UPI) - An
angry House appropriations
subcommittee has slashed
$452,000 from President Ford’s
request for $850,000 to finance
former President Richard
Nixon’s return to private life.
The 13-member panel voted 7-
6 Tuesday to cut the total
supplemental appropriations re
quest to $398,000 after rejecting
attempts to reduce the sum to a
flat $200,000. Some subcommit
tee members, including Rep.
Tom Bevill, D-Ala., wanted to
deny all funds for Nixon except
his $60,000 annual presidential
pension.
CHILLY SUMMER
The tables are turned at the
other end of the year. Summer
resorts in Argentina, Brazil,
Uruguay, Chile and Peru will
be in full swing when chilly
weather takes over the “upper”
half of the world in December,
January and February.
CANADIANS BECKONED
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
(UPI) — Government tourism
director Roberto Bouret has
predicted 30,000 Canadians will
visit Puerto Rico during fiscal
1974-1975, compared with 6,500
for fiscal 1972-1973.
Bouret attributed the increase
to an intensive promotion
campaign in Canada and the
availability of package tours.
Chairman Tom Steed, D-
Okla., said opposition to the
Nixon funds was so intense
within the subcommittee, “I
was surprised I got as much
out of the committee as I did.”
He said the six members who
voted against the final figure
wanted to reduce it further.
Ford had sought $450,000
under a presidential transition
law to provide Nixon with staff
assistance to help in declassify
ing and sorting his presidential
papers and answer a mountain
of mail that has come in since
his resignation.
