preliminary investigation of a large underground vault in Victorio Mountain. An hour-long
search unveiled graffite, tin cans and unexploded dynamite — but no gold — and resear

Terrorist surrenders,
frees last 4 hostages
TORONTO (AP) — A Cana
dian with a sawed-off shotgun
who seized a downtown bank
and demanded to be flown to
Uganda surrendered peacefully
late Monday night and released
the last four of 16 hostages.
The man, Robert Hugh
McLagan, 37, told reporters by
telephone he was “a fan” of
President Idi Amin and wanted
to join his army. But a radio
reporter who got into the bank
said the man told him he wanted
to kill Amin.
McLagan was charged early
today with bank robbery, and
police explained that he de-

manded money after entering
the bank. A police spokesman
said the man would appear in
court today, and other charges
would be filed then.
McLagan told reporters he
was from Vancouver. The po
lice spokesman said he was a
native of Montreal and his par
ents live in the Toronto area.
McLagan fired three warning
shots during the 12-hour siege
that ended early Monday morn
ing, but no one was injured. He
gave up after hours of talking on
the telephone with police ne
gotiators and with his brother
and sister.
“I want to see my pal Idi
Amin,” said McLagan in a tele
phone interview. "I'm a fan of
his. I’ve never met the man, but
I’m a fan of his ....
“I want a C-130 Hercules air
craft. I don’t want to own it. I
just want to borrow it and take a
little drive down to Africa. ... I
was a mercenary in the Congo
in ’65, and I just want to get
back down in that area. I just
want to get back to soldiering. I
want to soldier for Amin. I’ve
always admired him."
If Amin would not have him,
McLagan said, he wanted to go
to Zaire.
Technicians putting final
touches to tax cut bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tech
nicians are putting the finishing
touches on a bill approved by
the Senate Finance Committee
to cut taxes by $31.4 billion over
the next 18 months, including a
one-time SSO rebate for most
Americans.
The one-week delay to give
the staff time to put the bill on
paper before Senate debate be
gins will give the Carter admin
istration time to try to convince
wavering Democrats that the
President’s tax proposal de
serves a chance.
The bill, which would provide
rebates for 200 million Ameri
cans and a permanent tax cut
averaging sllO for 46 million
couples or individuals, is op
posed by the 38 Republican sen
ators as wasteful and in
effective. The big question is
whether Republicans can enlist
enough Democrats to scuttle
President Carter’s chief eco
nomic initiative.
That question won’t be an
swered before March 30, the
earliest the Senate is likely to
begin considering the bill.
The measure was approved

FERTILIZING
The most important element in any lawn fetiltzer is
Illi Nitrogen. The proportion of Nitroen is indicated by the
I first number of the formula. For example: in a 10-6-4 for-
B mula there are 10 lbs. of Nitrogen in every 100-lbs. of
fl fertilizer.
HOW MUCH FERTILIZER you need will vary with the type
Os soil and blend of grass you have. The AVERAGE lawn
of requires 3-4 lbs. Nlfroqen per 1.000 square feet per
year.
VIJV / HOW OFTEN you should fertilize dep
VlpAf HOW OFTEN you should fertilize depends primarily on the
availability of Nitrogen in the fertilizer. Fastacting fer
«gnM tilizers release nitrogen quickly so you would apply less
W/'-/ - 'J/ more often. Slow acting fertilizers (usually preferred by
woNewMW homeowners) release Nitrogen more slowly over a longer
SDW* nw-zo~- period of time. This allows you to apply the fertilizer in a
SEA more concentrated amount, l/ess often, and with less
PLANTERS I danger of grass burn. /

26th (589.95 Value) 405 Sout h H ill Street
by the finance committee on
Monday, 10 to 8, with all Demo
crats voting yes and all seven
Republicans and Harry F.
Byrd, Ind-Va., voting no. Four
Democrats said earlier they
were voting for the measure not
because they felt strongly for it,
but to give Carter the benefit of
a doubt.
Republicans, who want a big
permanent individual tax cut
instead of the rebate, were in no
such mood. Sen. William Roth,
R-Del., called the bill a
boondoggle and “one of the
most expensive April Fool’s
jokes ever played on the Amer
ican taxpayers.”
The rebate approved by the
finance committee is the same
as voted by the full House and
generally the same as proposed
by Carter. Rebates would be
mailed automatically beginning
in mid-May, with a taxpayer
getting SSO for himself and each
dependent. The SSO would de
crease as income rises between
$25,000 and $30,000; those earn
ing more than $30,000 would get
nothing.
The payments also would go
to recipients of Social Security,
veterans’ pensions and welfare
who pay no income tax.
The only permanent tax cut in
the bill is for the 69 per cent of
taxpayers who do not itemize
deductions. The current 16 per
cent standard deduction with
varying minimums and max
imums would be changed to a
flat $2,200 for single persons and
$3,200 for married couples filing
a joint return and heads of
household.
This would average out to a
sllO tax cut for 46 million
couples or individuals. But 2.1
million persons who now claim
a single standard deduction of
between $2,001 and $2,400 would
face a tax hike averaging ssl a
year. In addition, 6.7 million
taxpayers would find it worth
while to switch from itemizing
to the standard deduction.
Under the Senate bill, a single
person earning SIO,OOO and
taking the standard deduction
would get a sllO tax cut; a
family of four earning SIO,OOO
would get a $205 cut; at $15,000
the same family would pay $139
less. Families earning $20,000 or
more would get no tax cut.

Midfield terminal
contracts awarded
ATLANTA (AP) — First con
tracts for a proposed midfield
terminal at Hartsfield Inter
national Airport were tentative
ly awarded Monday after
Southern Airways announced it
would not appeal a ruling on its
suit over the rent for gate space.
Graydon Hall, president of
the airline, told a news confer
ence Monday Southern had de
cided not to appeal U.S. District
Court Judge William O’Kelley’s
ruling last week that most of the

and leases at the proposed
terminal were reasonable.
Southern had complained it
would be charged too much for
its gates.
City Councilman Richard
Guthman, chairman of the
council’s finance committee,
had said if Southern did not
agree to sign its lease in time
for bids this week, construction
of the terminal would go ahead
without gate space for South
ern.
