Minister
denies
he said it
TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI) - An
anti-liquor leader denies he
called the wife of Gov. Robert
'Bennett a “barmaid” because
liquor was served at a luncheon
at the governor’s mansion.
The Rev. Richard Taylor,
head of the Kansas United Dry
Forces, was quoted as saying,
“I think it is very sad to find
out that when President Ford
came to Kansas, for the first
time in history the governor’s
wife was a barmaid.”
The comments referred to
legislative action last year
allowing consumption of alcohol
at the governor’s mansion in
time for a luncheon for
President Ford.
Taylor, president of the anti
liquor group, Wednesday said
he was misquoted by the
newspaper and sent a letter of
explanation and apology to
Olivia Bennett.
Before Taylor’s explanation
several legislators publicly
criticized him for the state
ment
Bennett was asked in a news
conference if the minister
would need a steak for a black
eye, as President Harry Tru
man once promised a critic of
his daughter’s singing.
“No, but I think he needs a
cork for his mouth,” the
governor replied.

Film director
Bergman has
breakdown
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI)
— Internationally acclaimed
film director Ingmar Bergman
has suffered a nervous break
down less than a week after his
arrest for tax fraud.
“We can confirm reports that
Bergman is being treated here
for a nervous condition,” a
spokesman for Stockholm’s
Karolinska Hospital said Wed
nesday.
The spokesman refused to
elaborate, but friends of the
director said his illness was “a
direct consequence of the police
action last week.”
They said the charges came
as a “hard shock.”
Actress Liv Ullman, who has
a child by the director and
starred in “Persona,” “Scenes
from a Marriage” and other
Bergman works, said, “I am
afraid how Ingmar will react
after he has been singled out
this way.”
Bergman, 57, whose movie
version of the Mozart opera
“The Magic Flute” is playing
to packed houses in the United
States, was arrested Friday at
Stockholm’s Dramatic Theater
while rehearsing a play by
Auguste Strindberg.
He was formally charged by
federal authorities Tuesday
with defrauding the government
of $114,000 in 1971.
If convicted, he could face up
to two years in prison. No trial
date has been set.

Smoker loses
court fight
ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) — A
cigaret smoker lost a court suit
Wednesday under Minnesota’s
tough new antismoking law.
Ramsey District Court Judge
John Kirby extinguished the
smoking dispute between Nell
rae Steiner, who entered an
elevator carrying a lighted
cigaret last month, and Nancy
Leighton.
The two had a brief exchange
after which the smoker said she
put the cigaret out in an
ashtray outside the building’s
elevator.
But the nonsmoker carried
the battle to the city attorney
and filed a citizen’s arrest
charging the smoker with
violating the law. Kirby found
her guilty and suspended a fine
of $25.
