Speedy Anne
LONDON (UPI) — For the fourth time in four years,
Princess Anne has been stopped for speeding. Police say
this time she will be prosecuted.
Police said Sunday the 26-year-old daughter of Queen
Elizabeth II was driving over the 70 mile per hour speed
limit on a highway when she was stopped Nov 27. Her
husband, Capt. Mark Phillips, and a police bodyguard
were with her in the Rover sedan.
The Chief Constable of Derbyshire, Walter Stansfield,
said “She has been reported for speeding and proceedings
are pending.”
On three other occasions, Anne has been stopped for
speeding but not charged.
Biz before bliss
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI) — About 3,000 followers of
Guru Maharaj Ji gathered at the Convention Hall for a
meditation session Sunday, but their 19-year-old "perfect
master” did not show up.
A spokesman, Joseph Anted, said the guru was busy
meeting at the Howard Johnson Motor Inn with the board
of his Divine light Mission.
“He comes when he wants,” Anctd said. “If he does not
come, he does not come.”
Hunt's new hobby
MIAMI (UPI) — Convicted Watergate burglar E.
Howard Hunt is whiling away his idle time in the Eglin Air
Force Base federal prison by painting, his attorney
reports.
Attorney Ellis Rubin said he is negotiating with a Miami
art gallery for a one-man show to display the paintings,
but Hunt won’t be able to attend.
That is one reason, Rubin said, Hunt was disappointed
by the U.S. Parole Commission’s decision last week to
postpone consideration of his parole request until Jan. 25.
Hunt, sentenced to eight years, has served more than 30
months.

Jewish group seek laws against boycott
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) - The
National Governing Council of
the American Jewish Congress
has called on the incoming
Carter administration to seek
passage of a string law against
firms bowing to any Arab
threats of boycott if they do
business with Israel.
The resolution, passed by the
Council Sunday, also assailed
the Ford administration for
“subverting” anti-Arab boycott
legislation and regulations. The

Jimmy Carter to make strong
anti-boycott legislation a first
priority of his administration.

Plains has real
Christmas tree
PLAINS, Ga. (UPI) - Plains
has a real Christmas tree today
— with glittering ornaments,
multi-colored lights, a Pabst
beer can at the top and not a
plastic needle in sight.
The 15-foot cedar, set in
concrete in front of Billy
Carter’s gasoline station, was
trimmed Sunday with a crowd
of tourists looking on.
But the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation still is seeking the
culprits who pulled down the
controversial plastic tree which
Billy and his friends considered
an eyesore in a park on Main
22-month-old boy
stabbed to death
SAN MATEO, Calif. (UPI) —
A 22-month-old boy was stabbed
to death and his pregnant
mother was critically wounded
by a man who attacked them
Sunday and ran nude down the
street near their home until
police arrested him.
Dead in the rampage was
young Manuel Singares. His
mother, Rita, 22, was rushed to
a nearby hospital soon after the
afternoon attack and, by
Caesarean section, bore a baby
which was three months
premature.
Police said Charles Peters,
29, was charged with murder,
assault and assault on a police
officer.
Officers said they were
responding to what they
thought was a call to assist an
expectant mother when they
encountered the suspect run

the Singares’ home.
Street.
During his losing campaign
for mayor of Plains, Billy
promised to pull up the plastic
tree himself. But now he says
he not only didn’t do it but has
an alibi — he was in New York
the night the vandals struck.
On Sunday, Billy watched
admiringly as one of his
daughters and friends strung
the lights and put up the
decorations on the “real” tree
on his comer.
Souvenir hunters being what
they are, it may or may not
survive until Saturday.
Investigators were trying to
determine a motive.
Simon thinks
oil cartel
is collapsing
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Wil
liam Simon, outgoing treasury
secretary, says he is sure the
Middle East oil cartel will
collapse someday, but he’s
not sure when.
Simon said he was “extreme
ly pleased” that Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates
raised oil prices this month
only half as much as other
members of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Asked if the split OPEC
decision on price increases
signaled the breakup of the oil
cartel Simon said, “I wouldn’t
be that near-term optimistic,
but I’ve often said it’s not a
matter of whether the OPEC
cartel would breakup but
when.”
