Dollar gains LONDON (AP) - The U.S. dollar took on a healthier look in Europe’s money markets today and edged up slightly against the strong Japanese yen to end the week at 219.425, compared with Thursday’s closing rate of 218.875.

(AP).- The biggest solar flare activity in four years is causing only slight communications problems, a spokesman at the headquarters of the North American Air Defence Command (NORAD) said Thursday.

(AP) -Three miners were trapped by a slate fall deep in a coal mine near this southwestern Virginia town Thursday, and a spokesman for the mining company said all are presumed dead. transferred to Washington pending investigation of the charges against him, which result from an FBI investigation of the radical Weatherman movement in the early 1970s. "The issue at hand is political. as opposed to legal.” LaPrade said, "and there has been a political effort to control the FBI.” "I think that Mr. (J. Edgar) Hoover in his tenure was strong enough to maintain the organization in such a fashion that that was not possible, although it was always tried." LaPrade called on all FBI agents now involved in such Tin' Ml International "warrantless investigations” to stop work until they have written orders from President Carter. A New York FBI source who did not want to be named said Bell asked for LaPrade’s res- ignation Monday after he was named an unindicted coconspirator in an indictment charging former acting FBI Director Patrick Gray and two former aides of ordering the warrantless surveillance of the Weatherman group. In Washington, the justice department acknowledged that LaPrade had been served with “a notice for proposed administrative action." but a spokesman denied his accusation that the Carter administration was carrying out investigations similar to those of the Weatherman. There was no immediate response to LaPrade's remarks from Bell, who was out of Washington Thursday. Justice department spokesman Terry Adamson said searches without warrants had been carried out only against ’ foreign agents under rigorous internal executive branch approval.” The justice department contends the Weatherman investigations were illegal because the underground group had no significant foreign ties and it was not a national-security case. But LaPrade disagreed, telling the news conference; “The American people should know that the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Weatherman organization were in collusion with each other during the early 1970s.” He said that the FBI prevented the possible deaths of 300 people here in 1973 when agents, acting on “information from warrantless sources,” found three bombs placed by the PLO. Justice department sources said that if LaPrade is found guilty of the alleged illegal activities, he might be censured, demoted or dismissed from the $47,500-a-year job. Bell, asked today by a reporter about LaPrade's criticism, said: "Idon’tknow of anything illegal we are doing in the FBI or in the justice department. If we find that there is, we certainly will prosecute.” LaPrade is a 27-year veteran of the agency.

HILLSIDE STRANGLER Murder tape for sale LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Massachusetts prison escapee says a tape he wanted to sell to a newspaper was made during the murder of Kathleen Kobinson, one of the 13 Hillside Strangler victims, the newspaper reported Thursday. The Los Angeles Herald Examiner said George Shamshak told the paper in a collect phone call from prison Saturday that the tape was made in a van while Miss Robinson, 17, was being strangled last Nov. 16. Shamshak said he has five tapes relating to the murders and that their contents show three persons were involved in the slayings —one of them a woman who later became a strangler victim, the paper said. Shamshak’s lawyer. Henry Wvnn. denied his client had any tapes, however. Shamshak contended that the tapes would clear him of any involvement in the murders. He is quoted as saying: "I have never killed anyone in my life. I just happened to be a willing dupe—a pawn. Somebody held something over my head.” 'Zero chance7 for Mcnson GREELEY, Colo.

SALISBURY (AP) -Rhodesia’s first predominantly black government was sworn in today —four days before senior U.S. and British officials are scheduled to arrive here in a bid to forestall a black administration that excludes nationalist guerrillas. The nine new black ministers swore oaths of allegiance at a simple ceremony conducted by a black Anglican archdeacon. Until Dec. 31, when the first black government elected by universal suffrage in this breakway British colony is scheduled to take over, the new ministers will share their jobs with nine whites appointed this week by Prime Minister Ian Smith. U.S. State Secretary Cyrus Vance and British Foreign Secretary David Owen were conferring in Tanzania today with Rhodesian guerrilla leaders. Vance and Owen are making an urgent attempt to call a new conference involving the guer-ri 1 las. Smith and the three moderate Rhodesian-based black leaders who struck a deal with the white prime minister last month to set up a transitional administration and organize elections among SHEVCHENKO Rhodesia’s 6.7 million blacks and 263,000 whites. Guerrilla leaders Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe have denounced the settlement, which includes constitutional safeguards for whites, as a sellout and pledged to step up their five-year war to gain power. Vance and Owen are reported te be hopeful that Nkomo and Mugabe will now accept the Anglo-American pHan put forward last September for a British-headed transitional administration in which guerrillas would have a major role. Smith and the black moderates-now joined in a ruling executive council—have said they do not favor a new conference, and are pressing ahead with their domestic settlement. One of the new ministers, former guerrilla leader James Chikerema, rejected outright today the proposed Anglo-American sponsored conference. Chikerema said Vance and Owen should simply carry Nkomo and Mugabe-who conduct offensives from bases in neighboring black states—into the Rhodesian capital with them on Monday. "That is the only business they (Vance and Owen) have here," Chikerama told reporters after taking his oath of allegiance to Rhodesia, to be called by the nationalist name of Zimbabwe at the end of the year. There could be "no conference, no renegotiation," said Chikerema, who returned to Rhodesia last year from Zambia after renouncing violence. He headed a small guerrilla movement consisting of dissidents from both Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union army and Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People Union forces. The independent Rhodesia Herald newspaper, which generally reflects views of moderate whites here and backs the internal settlement, said today the executive council could urge Vance and Owen to try to induce Nkomo to join the settlement Sources in the transitional government said Smith and the three blacks see Nkomo’s involvement as central to winning across-the-board tribal support. But they are all opposed to including Mugabe, who has pledged to transform Rhodesia into a pro-Marxist state similar to neighboring Mozambique, the sources aid. Russian planned book UNITED NATIONS (AP) -Arkady Shevchenko, the top Soviet UN employee who has been in hiding for a week, signed a contract three years ago to write a book, a spokesman for Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., said Thursday. Ashbel Green, a senior editor of the New York-based publishing company, said the book is about a year overdue, "but we still consider the contract to be valid." Shevchenko, the $76,000-a-year under-secretary-general for political and Security Council affairs, is refusing to return to the Soviet Union, citing political differences with his government. Green said that from the few chapters he had seen of Shevchenko’s book, it appeared to be non-con-troversial. "It’s certainly not the type that could have provoked this sort of controversy,” he said. UN sources said Shevchenko. 47. has offered to resign if he is given the money he has paid toward theU N pension for which he is not yet eligible, a lump sum of at least $100,000 for the two remaining years of his contract and assurances he can stay in the United States. 'Berkowitz mentally incompetent' NEW YORK (AP) - With David Berkowitz in attendance, a defence psychiatrist told a closed-door hearing in Brooklyn Thursday that the Son of Sam suspect is mentally incompetent to stand trial, sources said. Dr. Martin Lubin was hired to testify at the hearing before state Supreme Court Justice Joseph Corso after two court-appointed psychiatrists reversed their earlier finding that the 24-year-old postal clerk CANCER CITY from Yonkers was incompetent to face trial. The hearing was being held behind closed doors in the recreation room of Kings County Hospital’s psychiatric building where Berkowitz has been housed since his arrest last August. The session was closed to the news media and public to prevent a repetition of sensational reporting that accompanied last October’s first hearing, at which Berkowitz was found competent. Berkowitz is charged with killing six persons and injuring seven others with a 44-calibre revolver during a 12-month shooting spree in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens. The Brooklyn hearing pertains only to the Brooklyn murder of Stacy Moskowitz. the last of the Son of Sam victims. Berkowitz says he wants to plead guilty to the charge, although his defence lawyers want to defend their client on the basis of insanity I- I Ron Ncwson's T.V. & Appliances CORRECTION In Thursdays, April 13 Citizen, the Admiral Refrigerator and Range were not exactly as illustrated.

(AP) — A state epidemiologist has confirmed the worst fears of local residents-the incidence of leukemia among children and teenagers here is abnormally high. But an authority on leukemia told a community gathering Thursday not to panic. "I don’t think you should sell your homes; I don’t think you should keep your children out of school,” said Dr. Arnold Rubin of the Leukemia Society of America. "There is no danger. This is not a threat to this community.” Six cases of leukemia have been reported during the last five years among residents and former residents between five and 19 years old, Dr. Ronald Altman. state epidemiologist, said Thursday. The normal incidence of leukemia in a town with 20,000 residents, such as Rutherford, is less than one, but even two cases would not be considered abnormally high, he said. Two boys, both students at the Pierrepont Elementary School, have died of leukemia Calling the statistics "mean- ingful,” Dr Altman said the leukemia cases occurred in a cluster around the Pierrepont school. In all, 13 cases of leukemia. 11 cases of Hodgkins disease and eight cases of lymphoma and related blood cancers were reported "We do not have an excessive rate ol leukemia for the town as a whole for all age groups.” Dr. Altman said “We do have more cases of Hodgkins disease than would be expected in a town this size.” PRINCE GEORGE ROD & GUN CLUB $ 20 SPECIAL t, 6 MONTH MEMBERSHIP APRIL 15 — OCTOBER 15 100 — 500 Metre Rifle Range — Fish & Game Trophy 50 Metre Pistol and 22 Range — Junior Programs Clubhouse — Everyone Welcome (Especially Women & Children) Memberships Available at: BOBSPORTS ?aVners
