Children march
against smut
NEW YORK (UPI) — The kids said the
burlesque show was dirty; the burly show
man said it was class entertainment.
Another crusade to rid Times Square of
smut had begun.
This time it was grade school children
from Public School 17 on the warpath to
clean up Broadway.
Armed with balloons and a sense of
humor, they paraded down Broadway at
noon chanting “Prostitutes must go.” On
the march back up Eighth Avenue, the
chant changed to “Pimps must go.”
“They came at the wrong time to catch
pimps,” said a doorman at the Royal
Manhattan Hotel. “They’re all sleeping.”
The march was organized by managers
of the Robert F. Kennedy Theatre for
Children, who supplied balloons and
encouragement for the kids to protest the
spread of pornography in the area.
The children were particularly incensed
at the presence of the “Melody Burlesk,” a
few doors from the RFK Theatre.
However, Bob Anthony, manager of the

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Transportation Department says tighter
enforcement of the nationwide 55-mile-per
hour speed limit — although unpopular —
may have reversed a trend toward higher
highway death tolls seen earlier this year.
A report by the department’s National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Wednesday showed 4,134 trafic fatalities in
September, almost 3 per cent less than in
the same month last year and about 16 per
cent below the 1973 level.
Melody, said, “We have no pornography
here, just beautiful, live girls dancing.
This is real class.”
Photographs of two headliners billed as
Golden Judy and Marie Renee adorned the
entrance to the Melody. They would not
have passed muster for a Walt Disney
movie.
Along their march, the kids passed such
cinema attractions as “Wet Rock,”
“Fireworks Woman and Two Surprise
Hits,” “Oriental Blue,” “Sweet Lusts”
and “Two Super-Porno Adult Hits.”
They also passed “Hungry Hilda’s
Topless Bar.”
If there had been any pimps around, 12-
year-old Edward Allen, one of the
youngsters participating in the march,
might have missed the significance.
Young Edward carried a sign saying
“Pimps, we hate you.” He said he wasn’t
quite sure what it was a pimp did that he
hated, but added cheerfully, “If they say
pimps gotta go, then I guess they gotta
go”
Rocky thinks he’d
won as a Democrat
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Vice
President Nelson A. Rockefeller
says he probably would have
been elected President if he
had changed parties and
become a Democrat.
Rockefeller, who ran unsuc
cessfully for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1960,
1964 and 1968, said Wednesday
he never seriously considered

It was the second straight month in
which the 1975 figures were lower than
those of 1974. The August death toll was
almost 4 per cent lower this year than last.
“We’d like to think it’s due to better
enforcement of the 55-m.p.h. speed limit,
although there is no way to definitely
prove it,” a spokesman said. He said a
crackdown on speeders in many areas
during recent months “hasn’t been
popular, but it has had a definite effect”
bolting to the Democratic
party.
The 67-year-old vice president
said he had been asked by a
number of prominent Demo
crats to switch parties, but he
always declined.
“The first time was by Harry
Truman,” Rockefeller said.

Bomb explodes near
home of Caroline
LONDON (DPI) - A bomb,
possibly planted by the Irish
Republican Army, exploded
today outside the London
residence of Caroline Kennedy,
daughter of the late President
John F. Kennedy.
One man was killed and six
persons were hurt but 17-year
old Miss Kennedy escaped
unharmed.
The bomb went off under the
automobile of Miss Kennedy’s
host in London, Hugh Fraser, a
conservative member of Par
liament, only minutes before he
was to drive her to an art
course at Sotheby’s Park
Bernet downtown.
Fraser told reporters he
would have left the house
earlier with Miss Kennedy had
he not received a telephone call
from a member of Parliament
to discuss a new British trade
agreement with Saudi Arabia,
signed Wednesday.
So powerful was the blast
that it flipped Fraser’s car onto
its back, with flames shooting
50 feet high.
The dead man was identified
only as a passerby. Homes 300
yards away were shaken. But
none of the injured was
seriously hurt.
This latest in a series
bombings in London shattered
windows throughout the Fraser
home and knocked him off a
chair. Miss Kennedy was said
to have been in her bedroom.
Fraser’s wife, Lady Antonia,
wasn’t believed to be at home.
It was not immediately clear
whether the bomb was attached
to the car or placed on the
street beneath it in the
fashionable neighborhood where
many government officials and
diplomats reside.
Miss Kennedy and the Fraser
family left the house shortly
after the blast to stay with
friends nearby. She was de
scribed by a witness as “a little
bit nervous” and informed
Sotheby’s she would not attend
class today.
The bomb exploded at 8:53
a.m. on tree-lined Campden Hill
Square. One of the injured was
a Fraser servant, Tessia
Oandasan, 32, of the Philip
pines, who suffered shock and
was the only victim hos
pitalized.

Rockefeller didn’t say wheth

Johnson asked him to change

During six of the first seven months this
year, highway tolls ranged from 1.5 to
nearly 7 per cent higher than those
recorded last year. This year’s first drop
came in June, followed by an upward spurt
in July and the new declines of August and
September.
“It looks like it may keep going down
now,” the spokesman said. “The end of the
summer vacation season, which gets a lot
of people off the highways, should help.”

Kissinger
He didn’t convince China
TOKYO (UPI) - Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger ended
a five-day visit to Peking today
but failed to convince China’s
leaders that America is as
strong as ever.
A senior U.S. official in the
Kissinger party said China
believes the United States has
lost some of its clout as a
superpower and become a
wounded tiger.
Kissinger stopped in Tokyo on
the way home to brief Japanese
leaders on his eighth trip to
China. He was expected to
return to Washington Friday
night.
The senior U.S. official said
Chinese leaders believe the
United States has been weak

Pay phones
recycled
DETROIT (UPI) — Michigan
Bell said Wednesday it is
recycling its old pay phones —
and you won’t need a dime to
use them.
The company announced it is
now offering residential cus
tomers 35-pound coin-operated
phones that have been recondi
tioned, repainted and fixed so
they can be used without
depositing any money.
“Until now, old coin phones
have been stripped of all
recyclable or salvageable parts
and the rest sold as scrap,”
said Michigan Bell Vice Presi
dent William E. Ebben.
“But with our new program,”
he said, “we are offering our
customers unusual conversation
pieces and at the same time we
are preventing these old phones
from becoming extinct like so
many phones from the past.”

79 traffic fatalities in 1974 to 42 last month.
Maine was close behind with a 46 per cent
reduction from 26 deaths in 1974 to 14 last
month.
New York showed the month’s greatest
increase — 55 per cent — going from 248
deaths in September, 1974, to 384 last
month. Nebraska had the second steepest
increase, a 45 per cent jump from 31 in 1974
to 45.

Congress.
The official said the Chinese
are concerned that the 1976
presidential election may put in
the White House a man opposed
.to America’s policy of improv
ing relations with China.
Kissinger’s trip to Peking
was clouded by differences over
Soviet-American detente, but
the senior official played down
the attacks against U.S. ties
with China’s arch foe.
Foreign Minister Chiao Kuan
hua saw Kissinger off at'Peking
airport this morning after a
chilly farewell banquet that
indicated failure to clear up the
disagreement over detente.
At Wednesday night’s ban
quet, Chiao resorted to such
low-key terms in the Chinese
diplomatic vocabulary as

Lamar sheriff says
his jail is full up
MACON, Ga. (UPI) -
Georgia sheriffs, complaining
that a backlog of state
prisoners has over
crowded their jails, urged Gov.
George Busbee Wednesday to
do something about the problem
or they would go to court.
The Georgia Sheriffs Associa
tion adopted a resolution asking
for Busbee’s intervention after
James A. “Bud” Cody, execu
tive director of the association,
said there was a backlog of
1,000 state prisoners in jails.
Dr. Allen Ault, state commis
sioner of corrections and
rehabilitation, suggested that

trip to China.
“Our talks have enabled us to
have a clearer understanding of
each other’s views,” he said in
a cool, farewell toast.
Kissinger, trying to keep the
dispute over detente from
spoiling Sino-American ties,
expressed hope the two nations
“will nurture our relationships
by respecting each other’s
views regarding our national
interest.”
One American at the banquet
used an often-quoted Kissinger
line to sum up the farewell —
’’There is less here than meets
the eye.”
Kissinger, who traveled to
China to set the stage for
President Ford’s post-Thanks
giving trip to Peking, said he is
“satisfied” with the visit.
Diplomats said he received
assurances of an enthusiastic

But Sheriff Bob Mitchell of
Stewart County said, “We have
been trying all this time to put

and advocate turning them
out.”
Sheriff J. C. Waller of Lamar
County said he is limited by
court order to 14 prisoners in
his jail. He now has 14,

Waller said, and “if I had a

wouldn’t have anywhere to put

Board Chairman Cecil McCall
admitted the situation was
“ridiculous,” calling it “a keg

Ault said Georgia has the

the end of the year but that

But the secretary’s trip was
overshadowed by warnings
from Communist party Chair
man Mao Tse-tung on down
about the dangers of America’s
policy of detente with the Soviet
Union.
Mao summoned Kissinger to
his walled home in Peking
Tuesday and spent much of the
100-minute meeting berating
detente as a modern day
version of the 1930 s movement
for appeasement of Nazi
Germany.
Kissinger insisted detente is
merely away to preserve
peace in the world and would
not harm China, but diplomats
said he failed to get the Chinese
to come around to his way of

Forsyth
girl out
of bubble
FORSYTH, Ga. (UPI) -
Debbie Andrews, a 15-year-old
high school junior, was back
with her family today after
three months of living in a
sterile plastic bubble while she
battled leukemia.
Debbie is expected to be
home for about three weeks
before returning to a hospital in
Houston, Tex., where doctors
had removed white blood cells
from her body to rebuild her
strength.
She had returned to Forsyth
Wednesday for a stay with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ken
Andrews, and a sister, Pat.
Debbie, a student at Mary
Persons High School, was found
to have the deadly disease after
she complained of feeling tired
all the time. She was sent to H.
D. Anderson Hospital in Hous
ton for specialized treatment.
Friends and well-wishers
have contributed more than
$12,000 — raised through gospel
sings, walkathons and other
means — to help defray the
cost of her medical care.
