Third cancer operation
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich.,
has undergone his third cancerrelated operation in two
months and doctors report there is “no evidence” the
malignancy has spread.
Surgeons at Bethesda Naval Hospital removed the
lymph nodes from under Hart’s right arm Wednesday. A
medical statement said there were no complications and
that he was in “good condition.”
“At the present time there is no evidence ... that he has
any major organ system involvement,” said Navy Capt.
W.J. Fouty, chairman of the hospital’s surgery
department, who performed the operation.
Bob Newhart honored
CHICAGO (UPI) — Loyola University has honored
comedian Bob Newhart, a Loyola alumnus, as winner of
the 1975 Sword of Loyola.
The Sword of Loyola is awarded annually to a national
or international figure whose life and work exemplify the
courage, dedication and service of St. Ignatius of Loyola,
founder of the Society of Jesus.
The Rev. James F. Maguire, Loyola’s chancellor, said
Newhart, a 1952 graduate of the school, was being
recognized for “qualities important to our society at a
time when some fear that such qualities are outdated.”
“Mr. Newhart’s lifestyle, understated and unpublicized,
is the antithesis of the entertainer’s stereotype,” said
Maquire. “He has given that profession a model of
Christian leadership.
Olav takes tiler
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — King Olav, Norway’s
“sports king,” his hand on the tiller of a sailing boat, spent
five hours Wednesday criss-crossing blustery San
Francisco Bay, cutting around Alcatraz Island and riding
the whitecaps beneath the Golden Gate Bridge.
Dressed in royal coveralls and wearing a yacthman’s
cap, he skippered the six-meter yacht St. Francis VI. A
spokesman following the king on his 25-day visit to the
United States said it was the first time the 72-year-old
monarch appeared fully relaxed.
Olav won a gold medal for yachting at the 1928 Olympics
in Amsterdam and is known as “the sports king.”

New trial arguments
set for ex-Marine
CORDELE, Ga. (UPI) -
Superior Judge William Leroy
McMurray, who refused to
move Roy Patterson’s murder
trial out of his Crisp County
circuit, will hear arguments for
a new trial next month for the
ex-marine convicted of killing a
city policeman and a Georgia
State Patrol trooper.
Attorney C.B. King, Patter
son’s chief defender, filed the
motion for a new trial
Wednesday, contending that
McMurray made an error in
rejecting his pre-trial motion
for a change of venue.
The defense also argues that
the jury which convicted
Patterson of murder ignored
evidence of self defense.
Patterson, 25, was convicted
Sept. 24 of shooting city police
officer W. R. Haralson and GSP
trooper James Young to death
May 4. McMurray gave him two
consecutive life sentences when
the jury was deadlocked more
than 30 hours in the penalty
phase of the capital trial.
King said the guilty verdict
was “contrary to law” and
“contrary to the evidence.”

Red wig
improper
for robber
SEDALIA, Mo. (UPI) - A
young robber learned abruptly
Wednesday that a red wig is
improper attire for a holdup.
Police said the bandit went to
a teller’s window at the Third
National Bank’s drive-in facility
and presented a note demand
ing money. He was given a
sack containing currency and
walked away.
Officer Don Mathers said he
spotted the suspect because of
his colorful attire —a red wig,
green shirt, blue jeans and a
large mole painted on his face.
Police said Christopher Cur
tis, 19, of Sedalia, admitted the
robbery. The sack containing
the money was found in a trash
can. The amount of the loot
was not disclosed.
