Birch Bayh Tammy Wynette
Tammy Wynette ill
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI) - Country and Western
singer Tammy Wynette Thursday was admitted to
Memorial Hospital for observation. She was reported in
satisfactory condition with an undisclosed ailment.
Miss Wynette became ill while her musical troupe was
traveling through Cheyenne. She was on tour with singer
Johnny Rodriguez.
Miss Wynette of Nashville, Tenn., was chosen female
vocalist of the year by the Country Music Association in
1968, 1969 and 1970.
Redistribution asked
IOWA CITY, lowa (UPI) — Democratic presidential
candidate Fred Harris Thursday called for a “massive”
program of wealth redistribution and labeled the Ford
administration’s economic strategy “welfare for the
rich.”
Appearing on the University of lowa campus, the
former Oklahoma senator said the oil companies — and
not the people — are benefiting from Ford’s economic
policy.
Harris, also former Democratic national chairman,
said he supported redistribution of the nation’s wealth
“from large corporations to lower and middle income
Americans.”
Goldberg defends Douglas
LANSING, Mich. (UPI) — Aging Supreme Court
Justice William 0. Douglas should not be pressured to
resign, former Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg
said Thursday.
Goldberg, 67, who sat on the high court from 1962 to 1965,
said Douglas will retire when he feels he is no longer
capable of participating fully in court deliberations.
“It has to be first demonstrated he’s incapable of doing
his job,” Goldberg told a news conference. “If a justice is
incapable of doing his job, then he should resign.
Sen. Bayh undecided
SIOUX CITY, lowa (UPI) - Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind.,
said Thursday he would announce at the end of the month
whether he will seek the Democratic presidential
nomination.
He told reporters during the final day of his two-day
swing through lowa that he is testing his strength by
cross-country travels to determine if he would offer voters
anything different from already announced Democratic
hopefuls.
Bayh criticized President Ford’s policies on inflation
and unemployment. The three-term senator said Ford
should be “willing to stand up and enunciate and follow a
policy that has meaning.”
He said the country “ought to be following a policy
designed to see that every able bodied man and woman in
this country who wants to work can get a job.”
Cohen satisfactory
IDS ANGELES (UPI) — Former racketeer Mickey
Cohen, who survived several gangland rub-out attempts,
apparently will survive the removal of his stomach, too.
Doctors at UCLA Medical Center said Thursday that
Cohen, 67, was in satisfactory condition and his prognosis
was good. Cohen’s stomach was removed Wednesday
because of cancerous ulcers.
He has been living quietly in Los Angeles in recent years
after release from a federal penitentiary, where he was
partially paralyzed by a beating from another inmate.

Ford planning
Knoxville visit
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) —
President Ford will make his
fifth visit to Knoxville Tuesday,
but his first since becoming the
nation’s chief executive, and
hopes to build support for his
economic and domestic pro
gram among leaders of six
Appalachia area states.
The occasion is the Mid-
Appalachia White House Con
ference on Economic and
Domestic Affairs, the 11th such
conference since last February
which Ford has attended.
Indications are the President
will fly in late Tuesday
afternoon, under tight security
and on a schedule which will
give him little time for public
appearances. Some 1,500 invita
tions have been sent out to
leaders in Tennessee, Ken
tucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia and West
Virginia.
The usual pattern is for
around 800 to attend the White
House conferences. The meet
ings at Knoxville are being
combined with an energy
symposium Monday at the
university in which a number of
high ranking federal officials
wiL participate.
Ford first came to Knoxville
in 1965 when he was a
congressman from Michigan.
He came twice more while still
in Congress, then visited
Knoxville in 1973 after having
Tallest
been chosen by President Nixon
to replace Vice President Spiro
Agnew.
William J. Baroody Jr.,
presidential assistant for public
liaison, said Ford’s visit is
strictly non-partisan, but he
admitted that there was no way
a presidential visit could avoid
political overtones, especially
with a major election year
coming up.
The White House conference
is billed as a listening session

what the people of the six
states are thinking,” Baroody
and other White House confer
ence advance men have been
saying.
Ford is tentatively scheduled
to arrive at the conference at 4

pattern, he will have some brief
remarks and then answer
questions from participants for
about an hour.
St. Pete dentist
wins sweenstakes
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
(UPI) — The “luck of the
Irish” rubbed off on Dr. Vance
Davis Bishop when he visited
Dublin this summer. And it
paid off to the tune of SBOO,OOO
Thursday.
Bishop, a St. Petersburg,
Fla., dentist, was the winner of
the biggest prize ever in the
annual Irish Hospital Sweep
stakes, a lottery set up by the
Irish Parliament for the benefit
of the poor.
The 50-year-old Bishop was in
Tennessee “visiting family”
when an Irish newspaper
telephoned his office and broke
the news to his dental assistant,
Joan Runyon, who said she
almost “fell off my chair.”
Late Thursday, Bishop’s wife,
Isabel, who heard the news
through Mrs. Runyon, was still
trying to reach her husband,
although she figured “he’s
probably heard the news by
now on the radio or television.”
“The phone’s been so busy he
probably hasn’t been able to
get through,” said Mrs. Bishop,
who “jumped off the chair with

learned of the win.
“I couldn’t believe it,” she
said in a telephone interview.
“I said (to Mrs. Runyon) ‘l’m
sure you’re teasing.’”
