Somalia expells Russian advisers NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — So malia, angry at the Soviet Un ion’s tilt toward rival Ethiopia, is expelling the Soviet navy from its chief bases on the Horn of Africa and ordering thousands of Soviet advisers out of the East African country, Radio Somalia has announced.

Somalia has been the Soviet Union’s chief ally in East Africa since 1969. But recently Moscow has been pouring arms into Ethiopia and denying them to Somalia in an attempt to end the rebellion in Ethiopia’s Ogaden region by Somali tribesmen who want to join the territory to neighboring Somalia. Somalia claims that the Marxist military regime in Addis Ababa is also being aided in the Ogaden war by Cuban ' troops, a charge which Cuba 1 denies. Neither Moscow nor Havana had immediate comment on the Somali action. But Somali Pres ident Mohammed Siad Barre had repeatedly warned the Rus sians that the Soviet-Somali al liance was in danger, and the announcement Sunday was no surprise. It has appeared for some time that the Russians thought either that the Somalis would not go so far or that Ethiopia would prove a more valuable ally. But with much of Ethiopia in revolt and the ruling military clique in Addis Ababa a hotbed of dissension, the Kremlin may have made a serious miscalculation. Information Minister Ab dulqadir Salad Hasan an nounced that the Soviet military and technical experts in Somalia, who are believed to number between 3,000 and 4,- 000, had seven days to leave the country. He said the Cuban embassy staff had to get out in 48 hours. Abdulqadir said Soviet use of Somali facilities “on land and sea” would end immediately. The Soviet navy’s Indian Ocean fleet has been using the port of Berbera, on the Gulf of Aden in northern Somalia, and Kismayu, on the southern coast. Western experts say the Soviets also had missile storage silos at Berbera. Somalia exchanged these facilities for Soviet weapons and training for the Somali armed forces. Somalia denies that its army is fighting in the Ogaden desert of southeast Ethiopia although it admits to arming and aiding the rebels, who are Somali tri besmen. 3 men acquitted in gaming AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Three Augusta men have been acquitted of federal gambling charges in connection with an alleged sports betting oper ation.

(AP) — Carbon monoxide fumes apparently overcame a retired state National Guard brigadier general and three other Georgians found dead aboard a yacht near the Georgia coast Sunday, Liberty County authorities say. The bodies of retired Brig. Gen. R. E. “Ed” Evans, 65; his wife, Cynthia, 62, and two of their neighbors, Robert Cawdor, age unavailable, and his wife, Sally, 47, were found aboard the 40-foot yacht, said Sheriff Robert Sikes. Sikes said Evans’ yacht, “Cyn II,” was found anchored in the Half Moon River off Colonels Island.

His wife left him, his school tried to fire him and he now has two lawsuits in the works. On the plus side, the center fold shot did bring Playgiri’s 1974 “Man of the Year” some television and commercial parts, friendship with Mae West and a second marriage to a former Miss Arizona. But he says now he’d rather get into show business through an agent. “I wouldn’t pose for another magazine nude,” the 35-yearold Apple Valley High School physical education teacher said. “It’s OK if it’s in statues or museums, but when you do it in the flesh, it doesn’t work.” Zivkovich says he expected some public notice, but nothing Bridge players head for Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) - An inter national field of thousands of bridge players is expected in Atlanta Friday at the opening of the American Contract Bridge League’s Fall North American Championships.

He said Evans recently was made a captain for Division X of the auxiliary. Sikes said the four apparently were killed by carbon monoxide fumes leaking from a generator used to power the heating system aboard the boat. The bodies of Evans, his wife and Cawdor were found on the galley floor, and Mrs. Cawdor’s body was found in a bed at the rear of the yacht, he said. Sikes said he believed “that the three found in the galley discovered there was something wrong, but the fumes overtook them too quickly.” like the “disaster” that resulted when the skin magazine arrived on the newstands of Apple Valley, a desert town of 1,000 about 75 miles northeast of here. “I thought there was nothing to it. I had told school author ities,” he said in a recent tele phone interview. He received SI,OOO and an enjoyable week end in Hawaii to pose for the photos. The school board voted to fire Zivkovich. He appealed, and a three-member state appeals panel agreed in March 1975 that he was “indeed a responsible individual and fit to serve as a teacher in the district.” He could be admonished for a “mistake in judgment,” but not fired, the panel ruled. But the school district refused to restore him as tennis coach and department chairman. ally ranked competitors in mixed pairs, life masters men’s and women’s pairs, blue ribbon pairs and reisinger open teams.

The story talks about a “rest tless” 6-foot-4, 216-pound young man who played Canadian pro fessional football, fought off groupies and tried to avoid bar brawls. The article did not mention Zivkovich’s wife and two chil dren. His wife was not amused. They were divorced in 1975. Some of the centerfold fallout was exciting for Zivkovich. The publicity from the dismissal hearings brought calls from TV figures. He was on “To Tell the Truth.” But despite the benefits, Ziv kovich says, “If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t.” If you need a new pump for your, private water system, you fl. couldn’t make a wiser choice [7 - than GOULDS... r We offer the subSurance Protection Plan that .

A lobbyist-disclosure bill was introduced in the state Senate last session, won passage after being watered down, then foundered in a House com mittee.
