HOMERS AT HOME
CLEVELAND (AP) — It’s
been a long time between
Frank Robinson’s first and sec-
ond home runs of the American
League season. But when the
manager of the Cleveland In-
dians hits a four-bagger they
seem to mean something spe-
cial. V
Robinson’s first homer as In-
dian pilot came opening day in
Cleveland. He delivered his sec-
ond and third four baggers
against Frank Tanana of the
California Angels on May 21 in
Cleveland. They were needed in
Cleveland’s 3-2 victory.

Mrs. A.M. Spiecker of Seattle,
Wash, underwent surgery
Monday. She is a sister to Mrs.
Louella Hancock.
WASHINGTON - A retired
Air Force Colonel says former
Presidential aide Alexander
Butterfield, who revealed the
existence of President Nixon’s
taping system, was a contact
officer for the Central In-
telligence Agency while he
served in the White House.
The ex-officer who reported
this today, Colonel Fletcher
Prouty is a former C-I-A liaison
officer for the Air Force.
Shortly after Prouty made the
disclosure on television, an
informed source said Prouty
had given the information to the
House Intelligence Committee
in recent days.
Prouty was called to appear
before committee investigators
again today.
Butterfield gained national
prominence nearly two years
ago when he disclosed to Senate
Watergate investigators the
existence of then-President
Nixon’s White House tape
recording system.
Tapes from the system, which
recorded Nixon’s conversations
with his top aides, were in-
strumental in forcing his
resignation last August.
In an interview today (on the
CBS-TV “Morning News”),
Prouty said he had “no doubt”
about Butterfield’s employment
by the C-I-A.
N-B-C news said it also had
C-I-A and other intelligence
agencies.
But the source said the in-
vestigators have no
documentary evidence to
support Prouty’s assertion.
Butterfield, who was named
head of the federal aviation
administration after he left the
White House, was not available
for comment.
But his wife called Prouty’s
description of her husband’s
role ‘‘absolutely
false...ludicrous allegation.”
She said: “It would be ab-
solutely laughable...”
Prouty’s comments about
Butterfield came just one day
after C-I-A director William
Colby denied as “outrageous
nonsense” earlier statements
by two congressmen that there
was evidence of C-I-A
penetration of the White House.
He also denied their statements
that that there had been C-I-A
penetration of the office of
management and budget and
the treasury and commerce
departments. __

IRELAND HAS
A SONG FESTIVAL
CASTLEBAR, Ireland (AP)
— The 10th Castlebar Inter-
national Song Contest will be
Oct. 6-10.
The first prize will be $2,400.
Prizes also are being offered
for best interpretation of an en-
try, songs written by com-
posers from abroad and songs
in the Irish language.
Last year 1,400 entries were
received from 42 countries.
More than 350 songs were re-
ceived from composers living
in the United States.
Passport
Passport derives from two
French words: “passer,” to
pass, and “port,” meaning a
harbor. Originally granting per-
mission to enter a nation’s
ports, the documents were
issued to ships as well as to peo-
ple. The earliest passports were
“letters of transit” written by
rulers or other authorities to
identify prominent individuals
who carried them. The letters
requested that their bearers be
assured safe passage and
courteous treatment. They
were a convenience when
traveling, not a requirement.

Texas CROP is seeking to
supply part of this needed grain.
In January CROP and Church
World Service shipped 1,000
metric tons of wheat for India
through the Port of Houston and
in February the United
Methodist Committee on
Overseas Relief shipped a
similar amount through the
same port. One thousand metric
tons averages fifteen carloads.
Growers and handlers of wheat
can assign a given amount to
CROP at the local elevator.
Details and proper transfer
certificates can be obtained
from the Texas CROP office,
2704 Rio Grande No. 9, Austin,
Tx. 78705. Contributions of
money to offset the cost of
shipping and, in the case of the
grain for Bangladesh, bagging,
can be designated for the
purpose and sent through the
same office.
The CROP Hunger Appeal is
in addition to denominational
appeals, and its resources are
channeled directly into the food
pipeline. Millions of people in
the world today are suffering
from severe hunger. We invite
grain producers, especially, to
dedicate a part of their crop to
CROP as a means of giving
thanks for the harvest.

a ditch.
Thirty minutes later, a
patrolman located the skeleton
in a shallow ditch about five feet

Police said no identifcation

have been there for several
