(AP) — Like neighborhood chums scrutinizing the new boy on the block, ambassadors in the tightly knit U.N. community gave President Carter a close inspection and liked what they saw. A number of diplomats gave Carter high marks during his visit to the headquarters of the world organization Tuesday and Wednesday. U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young said the trip was “an obvious success.” Several delegates said the President’s personal style dis armed his critics and added weight to the message of human rights and disarmament that he brought. “He’s a very nice chap, and I think some of the diplomats won't find it so difficult to go along with American policies now,” said British Ambassador Ivor Richards.

He lunched with African and Asian foreign ministers and ambassadors and talked trade with Latin America’s representatives. “I was at a luncheon with him and he made a point of shaking everyone’s hand at the table,” said Ambassador Jamil M. Baroody of Saudi'Arabia. “It Lockheed remains under strike threat BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - Negotiations betweeen Lock heed Corp, and a union repre senting nearly 20,000 aerospace workers at three sites were broken off Wednesday, increas ing the likelihood of a threat ened strike Monday. Lockheed spokesman Jim Ragsdale said talks with the In ternational Association of Ma chinists and Aerospace Workers — representing employes of Lockheed-California Co., Lock heed-Georgia Co., and the Lockheed Missiles and Space was just a small thing, but it shows he has great respect for the United Nations, more than most American presidents.” Calling Carter “charming” and “straightforward,” Am bassador Iqbal A. Akhund of Pakistan said his visit revived the U.S. commitment to the United Nations after it ap peared to lapse in recent years. “The fact that he took two full days here underlines his at titude, I think,” Akhund said. “Carter is very aware that the United Nations cannot function without strong U.S. support. It’s a good sign for the future. I am very hopeful.” Co. — ended abruptly at 7 p.m. Break-off of the negotiations, which had been proceeding with a federal mediator, meant that 19,600 union members probably would stage a strike beginning at midnight Sunday. A total of about 42,500 workers are at the i sites in Burbank, Marietta, Ga., ■ and Sunnyvale, Calif. The union walkout could af i feet 18,000 more workers at f McDonnell-Douglas and Rock- ■ well International plants in the i Ix)s Angeles area, where con ; tract talks are under way. A. B. Maddox made Fears famous ATLANTA (AP) — The governor first made Bobby Lee Fears a busboy. Then he made him a dishwasher. Then he made him famous. Fears is the dishwasher in former Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox’s nightclub act, “The Governor and the Dish washer.” He credits Maddox with straightening out his life. Fears has been singing for years, including some studio work with stars in California in the 1960 s and a year with the Ohio Players in 1968. But Fears, 32, said, “If it wasn’t for Lester Maddox my name wouldn’t be known across this country.” The act brought Fears several appearances on national televison. Maddox is hospitalized, recovering from a heart attack suffered Sept. 23. “When I heard about the governor being sick, I began thinking about my life and all the things I had done,” Fears said in an interview. Fears, who is black, credits Maddox, a restaurant operator who won the governorship after refusing to in tegrate his business, with turning him from crime back to the Christian teachings of his grandmother. In 1975, Fears said, he was “a child of the ghetto,” an exconvict “with a record downtown as long as your arm” and no job. He had been convicted in 1971 of possession of heroin because he “happened to be in a car that had heroin in it,” he said, and he did time in Georgia’s maximum security prison at Reidsville. He went to Maddox and asked for a job — and got one as a busboy at the former governor’s Pickrick restaurant. Maddox, governor from 1967 to 1971, often entertained patrons there. “He came out and was playing a mouth harp and laughing and picking up babies,” Fears said of the man he called “Poppa.” “The first thing I thought was, ‘He’s not anything like I thought,’ so I asked if I could sing with him. He said I couldn’t play his kind of music. I told him I can play any kind of music. And he took me out and bought a guitar and we sang ‘Red River Valley.’ “Lester stopped the drinking for me,” Fears said. “I was in a world of badness. He showed me the way. Every chance he gets, Poppa reads the Bible to me. And he’s funny, too. That little man will tickle you to death, the way he’ll joke and carry on.” Scratch his back, but don’t crumple paper SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - One boss stripped to the waist so his secretary could scratch his back, another warned against crumbling paper before it was tossed in the trash, and another ordered his secretary to do his wife’s schoolwork. Those were among the re sponses to a contest staged by the San Francisco Examiner which asked: What is the pet tiest office procedure you ever encountered.? For obvious reasons, identi ties weren’t disclosed. A shipping clerk wrote, “We are allowed three regular rest room trips per week. Beyond the third restroom trip, you are not allowed to ‘go’ anymore for the week. If you do, (manage ment) will write a letter to the union informing them that you are ‘malingering.’” The prize, a dinner for two, went to the secretary who said, “My boss keeps a large supply QUALITY FABRICS AT DISCOUNT PRICES!

Biologists fear ferrets are becoming extinct WASHINGTON (AP) - Three years ago a pair of black footed ferrets emerged from a prairie dog burrow in South Dakota. The small weasel-like predators scurried across the dry earth before suddenly disappearing down another burrow. Since that August 1974 dawn patrol, which lasted only a mo ment, the government has not sighted the animal in the wild. The black-footed ferret is one of North America’s most beau tiful predators, with deep bronze fur, black feet and a black mask across its eyes that gives it a Lone Ranger appear ance. Biologists fear the animal is becoming extinct. “If there are any left, it is questionable,” says the man who made the sighting, Conrad of shirts in the closet in the of fice for a quick change in case of an important meeting or an unexpected dash to the airport for out-of-town business. ... Un fortunately these are not a par ticularly fresh supply of shirts. And since we all become accus tomed to our own scent, he as signs me the task of sniffing out the most fragrant.” Hillman of the federal Fish and Wildlife Service. And there are problems with the only ferrets held in captiv ity. Efforts to breed two pairs of the animals at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in nearby Maryland have failed. One male, suffering from what is believed to be terminal cancer, is not expected to live more than nine months. And one of the females is reluctant to breed. But biologists have not given up hope of saving the species. “We want very much not to lose this one,” says Keith Schreiner, associate director of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Schreiner says he thinks there are still some ferrets roaming the wild. “I am convinced that we have a small population of black footed ferrets, and probably over a good-sized area,” he says. Even Hillman, who three years ago spotted the animal in a small dog colony tucked away in South Dakota’s expanse of rolling grasslands, is “op timistic” some wild ferrets survive. Ferrets are believed to have once ranged from southern Canada south to Texas and New Mexico. But the coming of the white man destroyed the once vast prairie dog towns where they lived in abandoned burrows. Now the question is how many — if any — ferrets are still around. And if some survive, whether a male and female live sufficiently close together to encounter each other during the mating season. Schreiner says the wild popu lation may have diminished to the point of no return. Officials are considering arti ficially inseminating the reluc tant female in captivity. Arti ficial propagation, designed to provide black-footed ferrets for release into the wild, may be the last hope for saving the small predators. “If that doesn’t work,” Schreiner says, “we may have to face the fact we have lost a species.” Roberts.
