HHH plans to pay
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) - Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey, D-Minn., plans to pay an estimated >240,000 i
when he gets a bill from the Internal Revenue Service, his
press secretary Betty South said Thursday.
Humphrey owes the money in back taxes and interest
because the IRS disallowed a deduction of >199,153 for vice
presidential papers he donated to the state historical
society.
The IRS denied the former vice president the right to
call the papers a gift because he restricted the public’s
access to them.

tion while her husband, Sargent Shriver, was ambassador
to France from 1968 to 1970.

Federal investigators examine the underbelly and landing gear of Avianca Airlines Flight
No. 54 after it arrived from Bogota, Colombia. People in a yacht on Biscayne Bay claim to
have seen a body fall from the plane as it prepared to land at Miami International Airport
and there was blood found on parts of the landing gear to lend evidence to the believe a
stowaway may have hidden there and fallen out when the plane prepared to land. (UPI)
Airline wants to find out
if stowaway fell from jet
MIAMI (UPI) — A stowaway
in a wheel well of a Boeing 707
“probably” was killed shortly
after takeoff from Bogota,
Colombia, Thursday then
dropped into Biscayne Bay near
Miami when the landing gear
was dropped, police said.
“It probably was a person
who got into the left landing
gear well,” Detective Paul
Storer said. “Chances are he
expired just shortly after
takeoff.”
But searchers failed to find a
body and detectives continued
to investigate in order to
confirm the death. Papers
found in the bay indicated the
victim might have been a
young Bogota resident.
The investigation was com
plicated when the search turned
up a beheaded young goat
rapped in blue and yellow cloth.
But an inspection of the
carcass and cloth revealed it
“had absolutely nothing at all
to do with the probable
stowaway,” according to Sto-
rer.
He said the goat, which had
been dead three or four days,
was probably the result of some
“ritualistic” ceremony.
Boaters in yachts in the bay
between Key Biscayne and the
mainland said they saw an
object fall from a plane at
about 2:30 p.m.
“We saw an object drop from
the airplane and hit the water
just east and south of Mercy
Hospital,” said Capt. Lou Huff,
skipper of the yacht Blue Jay.
“It looked more like an
oblong box than a body, but it
could have been anything at the
distance we were with the sun
shining toward us,” Huff said.
Huff said he notified the
Coast Guard and began a
search immediately. He found
no body, but he said he spotted
a plastic bag containing various
kinds of personal papers.
Detective Storer said the
papers were those of a young
Bogota resident, and a check
was being made to determine if
he was missing.
A check of a recently arrived
Avianca Airlines flight from
Bogota resulted in the discov
ery of “what looked like blood”
in the landing gear well, Storer
said. A laboratory analysis was
planned to determine if it was
human blood.

DJ popular
Maybe it’s time for sweet music
ATLANTA (UPI) — Although
he readily admits his singing
style is “middle road,” British
baritone Roger Whittaker has
an explantion for his popularity
on some top 40 radio stations in
the United States.
Despite thriving country
music styles and a return to a
discotheque mania in the
United States, middle-road en
tertainment does best in times
of stress and trouble.
“Maybe now is the time for
sweet music, message music,
middle of the road music,” said
Whittaker.
His cheeks are ruddy above a
goatee and his gaze is clear —
befitting the times when he
belted out songs written about
water boys and steel men “to
make the rafters ring and the
chandeliers shake.”
But in the last four years he
has toned it down to a softness
that accommodates the record
ing studio microphone. And he
wears a black pin-striped suit
“to impress” a news conferen
ce.
His concert attire is usually
“velvet coats and a silk shirt. I
hate to look as if I had just
come in off the street to sing,”
he explained.
So it is ironic to hear
Whittaker say he has been
influenced by protest singers
like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell
and Elton John, who he says
“writes fantastic material.”
Whittaker applauds the folk
styles of Kris Kristofferson,
James Taylor and Carol King.
Nonetheless he is a bit put off
at efforts by the English
audiences to style him strictly
a folk entertainer.
He started writing lyrics and
music as a student in South
Africa and Wales and has
toured extensively in South
America, New Zealand, Canada
and the Bene-Lux regions of
Europe.
He admits to “working
years” to match his whistling
accompaniment to his guitar to
the Indian flute sound he
admires in Paraguayan music.
His weekend debut in the U.
S. in Atlanta is a spinoff of a
three-year-old album selection
recorded in Great Britain that
has captivated an audience in
the Southeast.
The English entertainer says
he was “not at all aiming at
the American market” in this
Southeast stopover en route to
New Zealand.
His candidacy for stardom in
the United States started two
years ago when a former FM
music director for WSB radio in
Atlanta started spinning “The
Last Farewell.”
Whittaker didn’t know it was
promoted to the station’s AM
operation last summer. In fact,
“I thought the tune was dead,”
he said.
But most stars appear on the
horizon only after a good deal
of promotion. And in recent
months WSB successfully pro
moted the idea of marketing
Whittaker with the Recording
Company of America.
RCA had to go shopping in its
Canadian distribution centers to
find a mere 6,000 copies of
Whittaker music so far sold in
the United States. But they
have apparently been convinced
there is a market.
Whittaker is making the
Atlanta stopover as a kind of
joyful “duty to the recording
company” for launching a trial
balloon —an album released in
mid-March, spun out of the best
tracks taken from Whittaker
recordings over the past three
years.
“It’s amazing to me, what
changes can be made,” Whit
taker said. “The contracts are
practically signed now for two
future albums” on the RCA
label.
His next album scheduled for
Christmas time release will be
titled “Ride A Country Road,”
and it is filled with tunes
“everybody will like in the
Southern States.”
